    Unfortunately if the mind and brain are one in the same, it is impossible to transfer, and any attempt at doing so would just be making a copy.

Wait, isn't it the opposite? If the mind was ethereal, we wouldn't be able to reach it, let alone transfer it. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but maybe in the naturalist model it could be possible to transfer the mind by gradually switching off certain parts of the brain one at a time and maintaining the continuity of consciousness?
