It has been a recurring question on this list, particularly in regards to
mind-uploading, as to the question of whether or not mind-uploads are self,
will you experience that uploaded life, or are you bound to your flesh
body? Is a destructive transfer necessary to end up in the new body, etc.

These are questions that the field of personal identity is devoted to
answering.

A new book just published on this subject, says the answer is yes. Uploads
are self, moreover destructive transfers aren't necessary. You are all your
copies. Follow the arguments and logic carefully laid out in this book "Finding
Myself: Beyond the False Boundaries of Personal Identity
<https://www.pdcnet.org/pdc/BVDB.nsf/item?openform&product=publications&item=zuboff>"
available in paperback or as a free PDF e-book.
