Aspects of mind uploading

Abstract

I will discuss various aspects of mind uploading, including practical (will it be possible?), ethical (is it morally permissible to develop uploading technology?), philosophical (if I upload, will the upload be conscious, and will it be me as opposed to merely a copy of me?) and sociological (what will a society dominated by uploads be like?).
