That depends on the resolution of the simulation. Wouldn't you agree?
I think you're using the word "biological" to denote some kind of unnatural category.
The reasons you see for why any of us "should" do anything almost certainly have biologically engineered goals behind them in some way or another. What of self-preservation?
Not unnatural, obviously, but a contaminant to intelligence. Manure is a great fertilizer, but you wash it off before you use the vegetable.
I meant this kind of unnatural category. I don't quite know what you mean by "biological" in this context. A high-resolution neurological simulation might not require any physical carbon atoms, but the simulated mind would presumably still act according to all the same "biological" drives.
