Apart from anything else, this smacks of coercion. But also, it
leads to a monoculture, which is always a bad idea.<br>

Better to provide people with as wide a variety of choices as
possible imo. Let them decide for themselves, let them choose how
far to go, including nowhere at all, and what types of change to
choose.<br>

I'm pretty sure that if/when uploading became possible, it won't
lead to everyone being the same. Far from it, it would enable an
explosion of variety that would put the Cambrian to shame.<br>
