Oh, loads of things!

Inevitable decay and death, the inability to access (and reversibly 
modify) your inner workings, the limitations of biological senses, lack 
of a means to back-up your mind and potentially restore it at a later 
date, unavoidable pain and suffering, a physiology that you can't really 
control, an unchosen morphology, an inability to easily and accurately 
store any memory, including memories of thought processes, meaning that 
you can't reliably trace a thought back to its origins.

There are more things that are lost with uploading, but those are a few 
that occur to me straight away.

Those are some negative things that are lost. Are there any positive 
things that would be lost? Hmm, nothing comes immediately to mind. I'll 
think about it and post later if any occur to me.
