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"
LOL, they'd probably be having that conversation /w the new me about the old me. After all, if this was something we could do, and it were being done, I'm sure we'd have a chain of fiduciary responsibility layed out somewhere...and I doubt that it would side for the discarded or otherwise in need of replacing "me". Someone has to sign the check for the procedure, lol. The doctors don't spend much time socializing with the tumors they remove, with the problems they solved.....
It's be more like this - "Oh, btw, is there anything you'd like us to take from the body before we dispose of it?" I could use a spare kidney on a friday night, myself.
