The thing I like to ask is, once you're uploaded (or a copy of you is),
would you (supposing you find yourself as the upload) allow your program
to be copied to another computer? That would presumably be just as much
a discontinuity as uploading yourself. Is there a chance that your "self"
only continues while your program is running on a single computer? Does it
make sense to say that you would die if your program was stopped? (What
about the time between clock ticks?)
