Simple, take a "snap shot" of the brain, but down at the level of makes each neuron fire. then copy the information on solid state hard drive of about 4 Pita Bytes. The Pita Byte drives will be in full production in about 15 years. Taking the snap shot of someones neural pattern has yet to begin.
In general, copying of quantum-mechanical systems isn't possible. I suspect that consciousness can only be moved for philosophical reasons. Most of which can be seen when you consider teleportation and the issue of identity (which one is you, and which one is the copy?). Alternatively the world might not be quantum mechanical, but it's doubtful that the issues concerning information will simply go away, if a better theory arrives.
