This chapter provides an overview of the ethics of brain uploading. It introduces brain uploading as a potential future technology aimed at creating one or more digital copies of a biological brain. Since digital entities do not age in the same way as biological entities do, the main reason why some people are interested in brain uploading is the desire to extend their lifespan by several years or indefinitely. The chapter details the practical procedures involved in brain uploading. It then considers the key questions surrounding brain uploading as a life extension tool, such as the conceivability of digital consciousness and the possibility of achieving a personal identity.

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the ethics of brain uploading. It introduces brain uploading as a potential future technology aimed at creating one or more digital copies of a biological brain. Since digital entities do not age in the same way as biological entities do, the main reason why some people are interested in brain uploading is the desire to extend their lifespan by several years or indefinitely. The chapter details the practical procedures involved in brain uploading. It then considers the key questions surrounding brain uploading as a life extension tool, such as the conceivability of digital consciousness and the possibility of achieving a personal identity.
