Subject: Reversible uploading again
From: Keith Henson <>

While I am sympathetic with Bob Ettinger case that uploading can't
happen, what do we do with the case of downloading back into a human?

If uploading is possible at all, then the reverse process should be no harder.

Assume a person is uploaded, and their body and brain shut down.
(Because of a "one version at a time" law.)  Then some time from hours
to years later, the state of their brain is updated with the current
information from their uploaded version, their body warmed up and they
go for a walk with the memories and skills they acquired in the
uploaded state.

Are the memories they have of their time being an upload legitimate?

Keith
