What I meant was, the only method a sane, informed, non-suicidal person would want to sign up for of their own free will.
Of course there are several physical methods that might upload your personality, indistinguishable from you, but would kill YOU. So there's no benefit to you, though nobody else would notice if they didn't know any different. You could also do a Hans Moravec type upload where your mind is gradually uploaded to some sort of box, then your body's disconnected and you watch it convulse and die. Bleagh!! Why put yourself thru trauma if it's not necessary? There may be other ways to do a benign upload, preserving the individual, but I don't know of any offhand. And of course our bodies do this naturally anyway... we gradually slough off cells in favor of replacement cells all the time... just not all at the same time. --- Jey Kottalam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 6/25/07, Papiewski, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > The only way to do it is to gradually replace your > brain cells with an > > artificial substitute. > > > > We could instead anesthetize the crap out of you, > upload you, turn on > your upload, and then make soylent green out of your > original. > > -Jey Kottalam > > ----- > This list is sponsored by AGIRI: > http://www.agiri.org/email > To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: > http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; > ________________________________________________________________________ ____________ Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/index.php ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=7d7fb4d8
