A set of consciousness can be extracted and placed into another hardware
A set of consciousness can be extracted and placed into another hardware
This is comparable to rebirth?

wrong ...
consciousness is not product or permanent to be transferred
consciousness is process... involving many tissues and cells and neurons...

Re: A set of consciousness can be extracted and placed into another hardware
How can "A set of consciousness ... be extracted"? What is "A set of consciousness"?

Because it's totally sci-fi, and we don't know how or if that kind of thing can happen, maybe and maybe it's not similar to rebirth.
Impossible to say.

Actually only a brain might be "placed into another hardware" (hardware other than the body). But that then might be comparable to killing.

I don't think so, given the Buddha's advice to Sati the fisherman in MN38.
In the suttas consciousness doesn't have an independent existence, it is said to arise in dependence upon sense-base and sense-object.
Buddha save me from new-agers!
Re: A set of consciousness can be extracted and placed into another hardware
Sorry all for being unclear in my first post. The hardware I am referring to is another human body or equivalent in any realm. I got this idea from reading another sutta in MN and I am pleasantly surprised to see ganghabba being mentioned again. The note explain ganghabba as something like a stream of consciousness.

No
Consciousness depends on a sense organ, it "binds" with a body. Even in the the formless plane there is still the mind sense organ, which consciousness is bound up with.
You also have the "mind made body", this doesn't mean that consciousness leaves the body. It means that the mind sense organ can create a mental body, so consciousness never leaves the sense organs, so to answer your question: no you cannot extract consciousness and put it in another body because the minute you "extract" the consciousness, there is no more consciousness.
Consciousness is like a fire, it burns depending on the fuel, to say you can extract consciousness from a body is like saying you can extract fire from fuel, not possible. You can transfer heat to a new fuel source which creates a new fire dependent on that fuel, but you cannot transfer an old fire which depends on old fuel.
There is only one battle that could be won, and that is the battle against the 3 poisons. Any other battle is a guaranteed loss because you're going to die either way.
