"repeated attempts made to create a functioning upload from it, until
it works properly."

Deleting a partially functioning upload would be equivalent to murder.
I wrote about this decades ago in response to Hans Moravec's assertion
that he could be revived from his writings.  How many millions would
you have to create to get one "good enough"?

In the story, a download was done on a body held in status by cold and
nanomachines, and memory was updated from the experience of the
uploaded mind.  I gave a lot of thought to the problems in the context
of what we thought about nanotechnology 20 years ago.  But read "The
Clinic Seed" and let me know if I missed anything.
