I would really like to see these questions in the survey:
For the questions:
The questions are:
And maybe also this one:
EDIT 1: I've removed this specification: where death = permanently not conscious; if you create a clone or a simulation that is not a direct upload, it doesn't count as 'still living'.
EDIT 2: I've added that one could control its aging process in 2a).
I understand that it's part of the framing of the question, but I still think that a lot of people would take issue with this part.
Is it because a lot of people think that continuing to live as a clone or a simulation is just as good as continuing to live as the original? If so, then I don't mind rephrasing what I mean by death. The important point is that I don't mean the death of the body, but rather the death of the mind.
I think most people's desired life span has a lot to do with how healthy they expect to be.
Good point, I edited the post to make that clear.
