...I give 75% of possibility that transition between organic to inorganic / cybernetics forms will happens: humans will evolve from organic to inorganic / cybernetics forms wich will be more stable / reliable, specially for exploring the outer space. The future of humans, if survive, will be the outer space / universe. Agree or not, it is high probable that transition between organic to inorganic forms will gradually happens. And in between there will emerge some "organic humans defenders" who will fight "against the machine" and who will see at the same time that there is almost nothing to do against it.

My major problem with uploading (as in scanning your neuronal connectome and producing an exact virtual replica) is the same issue many people have with cloning or teleportation. It's replication, not transfer. Say I sit down, have my mind scanned and entirely replicated into a virtual system, then what? Sure the virtual replica will have all of my memories, dispositions, knowledge and everything else. But the biological, flesh and bone me, the mind I'm experiencing now, will not have truly been transferred. I suppose this issue is none existent if the uploading is achieved by directly connecting the nervous system with the hardware, as in turning your motor neurons into an output into the computer and your sensory neurons receiving input, ala The Matrix.
I am all for integration of technology into our nervous system and implementation of virtual/augmented reality, but I don't think virtual connectome replication is the way to go.

I would upload under the following conditions:
1. I keep my body and my uploaded self is a backup or my personal digital assistant and we sink from time to time. Thus my digital self allows me to do more.
2. In the event of my death, a new body is made with my other self uploaded to it (assuming my original brain is beyond repair).
3. Whatever is left of my original brain is preserved for future revival when the technology becomes feasible.
