RE: Would you choose to upload your memories to gain immortality? Hell, no.
There is a problem. If we do not know who we are then how can we even consider immortality. If we thinbk we are these temporary bodies it's impossible. But if we can differentiate between spirit and matter than we can connect with eternity, spiritual energy. Matter is temporary and always changing. Spirit is eternally the same.
This is true, indeed. What's the point of considering immortality if we remain unclear about our true identity - no understanding of who we are or what exactly would be made immortal...
As for spirituality, I do believe that we have a spirit in us and there's a future beyond the grave. This gives me comfort, especially since I have someone so close to me (my mother) who has departed from this world. And I thought: the happiest moment of my life was the saddest moment of my life - sad because she had to go; happy because she's free from suffering and has moved on to somewhere wonderful.
