John, I'm not sure what we can say to convince you you're fighting a battle that doesn't need to be fought on this ground.

(other than, perhaps, to suggest that you get some sleep)

Would it help if I said I'd happily sign up to be uploaded now, if I knew I could look forward to a similarly rich experience in a mainframe, and perhaps the ability to engineer a body to walk about in from time to time, when the whim took me?

Yes I’d have to say that would help, If you did say it.

Oh. Well then, yes, yes I would. If it meant I could self-modify, and especially if it meant I could gain a bit of control over my pair-bonding mechanisms, then I would in a heartbeat.
