Mind Uploading

TOPIC: Mind Uploading. Some philosophers and scientists think that in the more or less distant future, we will be able to "upload" our minds and "run them" as simulations on powerful computers (see the Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_uploading). For this topic, briefly describe what uploading is and then discuss how the various theories of mind we have considered support or oppose the possibility of mind uploading.

Please remember to keep your essay between 1000-and 1200 words (no more, no less). A philosophy essay is concerned with presenting and analyzing arguments using reason. You do not have to pick a side; it does not matter which side of the argument you pick if you pick one. What matters is the quality of your analysis of the arguments and the quality of the new arguments you advance.
