I don't see why not. If the uploaded personality could experience other
things -- if it's completely isomorphic to the nonuploaded personality --
there seems to be no reason it could not experience orgasms, stubbed toes,
or whatever, provided the stimuli were provided, such as exciting the right
connections, parts of its software, or what have you.
