hi yky,

B) is not as weird as it seems, if a NON-destructive
upload procedure is used instead.  Picture
free-roaming robots, smaller than neurons by an order
of mgnitude or more, which perform the equivalent
function of scanning the brain and transmitting
information to an external device; they would not need
to destroy tissue to do so.  In the end, the original
would be left alive, and the upload would exist in
another substrate.  No need to destroy the tissue
means no requirement for body disposal.
