Consciousness, like love, is not something special. You put two individuals of opposite sex of the same species in a box, they will breed and experience romance and all that crap. You make a brain advanced enough and it will become self aware. Consciousness can be split into several as well as several can be combined into one. Actually, your right and left hemispheres of the brain are both conscious and communicate with each other through connections between them. Cut the connections and there will be two beings in one head arguing with each other etc.

And if you think about it: who are you? Where are you located right now? What is that thing that makes you, you? And where is it? There is no such thing, and, as a person, you don't exist. It's an illusion. According to quantum mechanics, it's not possible to create a 100% copy of a person. There is just no way around Heisenberg's uncertainty principle... but if there was, that other you would not be a copy or a clone, it would be you. Momentarily...

If I met myself from 10 years ago, I'd probably think 'omg what a cunt'. But that was not me, there are pretty much no atoms in me right now that made me up 10 years ago. And that is a continual process. Every time you wake up in the morning, you're not the same as you were before bed. From one moment to another, 'you' kind of die and a new 'you' is born. There is no real you.

So yeah, relocating consciousness is the easy part, as there is nothing to relocate.
