Abstract

Mind-uploading consists on transferring a mind from its original substrate (a biological body) to other substrate (other biological body, a robotic body or a digital entity). The mind uploading proposal is part of the transhumanist program and aims to reach the personal immortality after the corruption of the biological body. This paper claims that this proposal is not only a technological one (despite it is presented this way), but also an anthropological, cultural and political topic, so that a deeper reflection is desirable. In this paper two aspects of mind uploading are analyzed: the actual possibility of the mind uploading and also its desirability, with the intention of opening questions that usually are considered answered.
