Mind uploading has been an on-going theory. The idea that we can upload our conscious mind to transfer or store memories is something that is becoming more feasible now with all the technological advances we've been given. The article proposes a few ways that this can be done, one being copy and upload by gradual replacement of neurons, two by scanning and mapping our brain to store our memories. This kind of technology is important because it can open many doors to advance neuroscience technology, being able to store important data and information among important leaders and historical figures, as well as advances in the medical technology to diagnose and treat diseases. While in theory this may seem like an amazing idea and way to advance neuroscience technology, it does come with a lot of issues, ethically, practically, legal and philosophical issues. The main ethical issue with this is the clinical trials. Just with any sort of medical technology, there needs to be trials and experiments. In order to study more about mind uploading and consciousness, it would not only require animal trials but also human trials, which means that one would have to make the sacrifice of going under euthanasia and possibly passing away during the experiment in order to prove that uploading consciousness when one's body is unconsciousness is indeed a feasible task
