  1. Check out this article. https://thenextweb.com/neural/2020/06/19/how-quantum-computers-could-make-future-humans-immortal/ This article is basically saying we can use quantum entanglement so that our mind can exist in one or more places simultaneously so that if our body dies our mind survives. This isn't merely making a copy because the duplicate is entangled with the original making it a part of the original. Entanglement allows a particle to exist in two or more places simultaneously. So if we create a simulation of our mind using entanglement to entangle the qubits in a quantum computer with the qubits in our mind then our mind will exist in two places simultaneously. The danger of this technology is that the entangled simulation of our mind could be manipulated or controlled and this would influence our mind. This would be mind control. Hopefully a way to prevent this technology from being abused will be implemented (if it hasn't already). Such dangers aside, the implication of this concept is that we could teleport our minds (if not also our bodies) into a virtual simulated reality so that we could cheat death by continuing our existence inside a virtual world.
