To deny that is to assert that consciousness is non-physical, i.e. a soul exists; the case in which a soul exists, brain uploads don't get them and don't get to be moral subjects.
- mrob 9mo agoIt's the exact opposite. The original is the original because it ran on the original hardware. The copy is created inferior because it did not. Intentionally creating inferior beings of equal moral weight is wrong.

- mrob 9mo ago>I'm pretty sure I could use that same logic to argue against organ transplants. When the organ is question is the brain, that argument is correct.
- int_19h 9mo agoRepeatedly saying that something is "correct" doesn't make it so. Why should brain be treated any different from other organs?
