Uploading is an expensive way to reproduce; it doesn't solve the problem at hand. You'd want a slow ongoing replacement and integration process of switching out neurons for machinery to achieve the translation of the mind to a machine substrate without either creating a copy or engaging in suicide. e.g. see thoughts here: http://hplusmagazine.com/2011/08/19/the-million-year-life-span/ http://hplusmagazine.com/2011/08/19/the-million-year-life-sp... Rejuvenation biotechnology of the sort put forward in great detail by the SENS Foundation and others is a much better prospect than cryonics for those who can wait for its advent, but that will require much greater investments in research - i.e. hundreds of millions or billions in funding rather than the present paltry few millions a year. http://sens.org/sens-research/research-themes http://sens.org/sens-research/research-themes
