   Why?  How?   
      
   If I could upload your brain:  Your memories, your   
   thoughts, your personality, all that is you -- why   
   would it think your body still exists?   
      
   Uploading a brain would be worse than hell. A copy of   
   you -- conscious, yes, but not actually a person --   
   would exists inside a computer, and would know   
   nothing but that computer.   
      
   How could you assume that it could even take control   
   of output devices and communicate? Or input devices for   
   that matter?

   At best, that would be the world of your uploaded   
   duplicate.

   I don't see it.   
      
   It would be torture. Sure, it would be hideous torture,   
   subjecting a mind to that, but it's not time travel.

   Oh, I get it:  And you extort everyone!  "Pay us or we'll   
   upload your consciousness to this hell."

   Did you ever watch the show "Upload?"   
      
   I told the roomie:  "If this ever becomes possible, DO!   
   NOT!
