Eliezer,
I'm curious as to whether if it were possible, you would propose forcing people to upload regardless of whether they want to or not. It kind of seems that this is the logical extension of what you are saying.
Yet, plenty of people will say that YOU will be killing yourself voluntarily if you upload. So in the same way, wouldn't you be very opposed to a prohibition of uploading?
Seems to me that there is something to be said for relativism.
Deacon!
