It can't be. Only by the current self.
If I sign up to be uploaded into a computer six months from now, which part of me made the decision? My current self is biased towards keeping previous commitments.
By the time technology and society change enough for self-modification to be a current self affair, current self will already be heavily modified.
Non the less. The current makes decisions in expecting something from the decisions made. There is no time reversal causality here.
Perhaps this is clearer formulation:
Because any decision to self-modify will more likley than not be determined more by my future self['s values than my current self's values].
