Can you murder yourself, or would it be considered suicide, or even less, property damage, or maybe it would be seen as akin to getting a piercing? Theres little restriction as to what we can do with our own bodies, even if it incurs harm.
(I finally had an idea for a book, just in time for nanowrimo, yall rock)
Imagine there is a way to upload yourself to a machine. You decide to do it yourself. The scientist plugs you into a scanner. This reads the entire state of your brain, which neurons you have, how they are connected, the current voltage of each neuron, the number of vesicles currently traversing across your synaptic clefts etc.
It then simulates this on a super computer. There are a few tests performed to make sure that it thinks and talks like you and the results come back as positive. The scientist then turns round to you and says "Excellent. You have been uploaded into the computer. You can die now"
