Reply to comment by bojun in If the singularity came to pass, would you upload yourself? by gbbloom

Do you know what consciousness is? Is it a spiritual thing or are our bodies just warm flesh bags with electrical functions? If our brain is damaged we could lose any sort of memory, thought, sight, etc. Who’s to say what happens after our bodies parish? I say if I’m on my death bed I’m uploading my consciousness to the mainframe and play some video games for a few decades.

That is the $64 question isn't it? It's unresolved but if you want to talk of upload as a means of prolonging your existence, it's part of the gamble.
