That's really interesting.
Robin, have you asked your students who would upload if it were destructive
to the original? I'd be really interested to hear the answer to that.
Myself, I think I'd allow uploads of myself. I think if I were an upload of
myself, I'd feel pretty altruistic toward the original, and help it get into
the machine, too. So, it seems like a good deal.
