I'm doing a research paper on mind uploading and I needed some help on a question about mind uploading. Now using the copy and transfer method how would it affect things like your sexuality and first of all how would this even work what type of super computer would your mind be uploaded like a flotation tank or some super advanced desktop ? Informative help would be best appreciated

What in the world is mind-uploading? Is that a hypothetical phenomenon?

Whole brain emulation (WBE) or mind uploading (sometimes called "mind copying" or "mind transfer") is the hypothetical process of copying mental content (including long-term memory and "self") from a particular brain substrate and copying it to a computational device, such as a digital, analog, quantum-based or software based artificial neural network. The computational device could then run a simulation model of the brain information processing, such that it responds in essentially the same way as the original brain (i.e., indistinguishable from the brain for all relevant purposes) and experiences having a conscious mind.

You're curious about the ethical implication of mind-uploading?

I just released a book on mind-uploading, if you would be curious to read about it. Please google "A Taxonomy and Metaphysics of Mind-Uploading" if you feel inclined.

Cheers!
