[MURG] Re: Mind uploading X prize

[Sim Bamford]

Re: Uploading sounding kooky -
It does a bit, doesn't it? So when presenting this it could be put in 
terms of a "simulation". That's what a non-destructive upload is, 
essentially.

So, The grand prize for an "exact" simulation of a living individual. 
Smaller prizes for the sub-goals of an "exact" simulation of a nematode 
worm and a rat. Correct me if I'm wrong but from all the doubts about 
this being professed I don't hear any serious dissent from the idea of 
presenting this as a possible prize-worthy subject to the X prize 
people? In any case I'm up for submitting it once refined, together with 
Shane and whoever else is up for it (?)
