What is even the point of uploading your brain to a computer?
The point? I don't understand...
Scientists do what they do for one thing...
FOR SCIENCE!
Doesn't matter if it's bad or good, all must be done in the name of SCIENCE!

Seriously though, I like the idea of being able to transfer human thought into a computer run body (That specifically, as I think that's what the OP was really trying to get at rather than the entirety of transhumanism, which as others have mentioned is far more than that). Whether it turns out to be a good or bad idea I can't really say, I'm just immensely interested in the implications of such a move. Will our future be more utopian, or dystopian? Who can tell, but either way I bet it would be interesting to watch. I just hope I'll be alive to see it, but then I am only young.
