The chase to capture consciousness can't really end in anything better than a false reproduction. Similar to a Hollywood film being a false representation of a fantastical real life event.
The next scientist inspired by this chase, will flesh out the Epicurean claim "the soul dies with the body". He will find out exactly when and where consciousness dies with the body. And the next Dante will condemn him to Hell for it.
The way some men's eyes light up when they dream of understanding and capturing the soul, rings alarm bells. Wanting something you can't have is dangerous.
