The concept of Your personal survival has several meanings that make the scientific understanding of immortality and life after death confusing. The phrase Your personal survival is tied to the word "personal" which is tied to the concept of a specific body. So the phrase Your personal survival is converted into the concept of "your specific bodies survival". With this definition there is no immortality because all bodies die.

When we use the definition of you as all of the consciousnesses that any itobody will produce that you will ever experience, immortality becomes a question of "If other itobodies can produce consciousnesses that you can experience or not? In this definition you are not defined as a body but as a grouping of consciousness. Different "you's" can be defined as a different set of consciousnesses that they will experience if they are ever produced. Of course there will be over lap in the sets of consciousnesses depending on the original's conscious perspective.
