> …Have to say it though, a pedantic philosophical problem I have with the uploaded conciousnesss trope is, a \*\*\*copy \*\*\*of your mind is uploaded to the paradisical hereafter. It may think it’s you and for all outward intents and purposes _ **be** _ you, but the \*\*\*real \*\*\*you is dead once your head is asploded. Blackness, out, done.

Nora’s father brings this up. I’m curious what exactly is the legal status of Upload? It doesn’t seem like they’re considered persons; Nathan’s estate went to his mom and Ingrid can simply delete him at will. How do finances work for the planned Uploads? Do they set up trusts before they die?
