If scientists were able to plot out an exact blueprint of every cell in your body and then build it, would you now have two sets of conscious experiences or would the other you be a replica with its own experiences? If it's someone else, then in the resurrection, "your" resurrected body will be someone elses too (given that the exact cells that made you can't be recovered). Even though it will think it's you, like in the movie, "The Sixth Day".
Looks like when all you Mormons die, that's it. Though the Celestial Kingdom might be a lot of fun for the cyborgs made in your image.
The only option is to say that the spirit ensures the continuity, but as its explanatory power increases so does the brain's faux.
Faux brain is the only answer anyway even here on earth as demons can possess it. Spirits can move in and out of bodies without technical problems and move them around so long as God allows it. So the brain is in actuality, just as useless here. The brain must have been planted by Satan after the fall. Just as he planted the dinosaur bones, he put a brain in your head to convince others that you are a material being. And scientists have fallen for the trick like fools.
LOL Satirical genius!(I missed this until just now)

I'd prefer that you use the words of Christ to explain how those rule out the resurrected body having blood in it.
None of it does. I was speaking from an LDS point of view even though, on second thought, perhaps I should not have done so. My audience here is chiefly not LDS. I apologize for the confusion and poor choice in words. I sould have accurately stated, "LDS believe" because the truthfulness of the D&C is disputed.
In the New Testament verses that you used, Christ says : Handle me" (feel me) and then makes the comment that a Spirit hath not flesh and bones.
When you feel a persons body...can you feel their blood or do you feel flesh and bones?
Well, actually, you feel the blood as much as the bones. Do you not realize how a body without blood would feel?
Like a dried corpse.

I feel my wife's heart beat when I feel her body and not just when I'm touching her chest over her heart.
I also imagine that Thomas would have felt blood if Jesus still had any:
John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO
"Resurrection means to become immortal, without blood, yet in a body of flesh and bone." I still haven't found the scripture though.
Obviously this rings as an extension of the Jewish belief that forbids the eating of blood. Perhaps that's where the JWs get some of their ideas on blood.

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Yes, but it's highly refined pig poop.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
