"transcending" is a no-no word for me. If you put that in the FAQ, I'll
put your site in my top five list of psychotic delusions. =\
I wrote a very long article on it I think I called it "on transcending
human limitations" its in the archives of one of these lists --
somewhere...

I would not submit myself to any of the uploading procedures that have
been presented to me.
I suppose if I'm alread dead, someone can interprit my organ donor card
loosely and upload me, at which point whatever pattern is recorded will
switch itself into biography mode, and not attempt to behave in any way
other than an conventional interactive database.
