RE: If It Were Possible, Would You Upload Your Consciousness Into A Robot?

While it is interesting I would very much wonder if I can trust the people who control the service. Someone with the power to upload a human mind into a machine would almost certainly also have the ability to manipulate it. How do you ensure that the consciousness uploaded is the same as the one that is you, and that you have full agency over such a body? There could effectively be some sort of DRM restricting certain actions, or perhaps thought patterns, that your body could do, in some sort of interest of the creator.

And then you will have the issue of obsolescence on a scale that is weird to think about. Imagine being trapped in an inferior body model due to your economic lot in life, and eventually losing the ability to cheaply repair yourself because your parts are no longer in service. Or perhaps, having career coerced upgrades which indenture you to your company...
