As Uhura once said, "Sorry, neither".

Even five seconds from now, I am a different person. Just because the body stays the same (and even that is not true) does not mean that the "me" inside is the same. I would not want to be uploaded into a simulation - well it'd be interesting to see myself from the outside, but I would not consider that simulation to be "me"; the word "simulation" says it all really. I would not want to be transported; as spacelem above, I share Barclay's and Doctor McCoy's view.

What I consider to be "me" is made up of so many different facets, internal voices, internet aliases and avatars, different reactions to the same things depending on context, mood, level of health etc. I am in a constant state of flux. The person who hits "Post Comment" is not the same one writing this right now.

Very rarely, all those facets come together, and that is quite a Zen experience.
