Uploading also require knowledge about what exactly is needed to perform a good enough emulation. What level of granularity, how to interface the emulation to reality, how to ensure that any inaccuracy in the emulation won't make it insane… The brain is messy, and may require even more insights than Friendly AI does. Sure we could always go the trial and error route, but then we're talking human torture and human sacrifice. (An upload counts as a human in my book.)

> how to ensure that any inaccuracy in the emulation won't make it insane… You can always restore a snapshot of your sane self ;-) Based on it, you could debug your own brain (being restored to said snapshot from time to time, until you remain sane long enough, but with full knowledge of what happened since the last "boot"). Wouldn't be fun.
