I have a question about the digital reconstruction/revival/uploading/etc. How do you know it's truly you? Do you wake up and just see you're now in a computer?
I might be missing something, but the process in my head (heh) is that the brain is being copied, analyzed and then booted on the computer. Then there's two copies of the person, and while the biological brain will eventually die, the brain ex machina will still be living.
However, the brain ex machina, even though it's an identical copy, is not the same person. Therefore, it's more like personality-immortality, or brain-data-immortality. The person's conscious experience will be branched off until the brain dies.
I thought immortality implies that you actually stay conscious, not that you die for a hundred percent but are preserved.
Where you draw the line on these sorts of things is personal preference. The "copy" can't tell he's a copy.
