31The Fallacy of Favouring Gradual Replacement Mind Uploading Over Scan-and-CopyJournal of Consciousness Studies 23 (3-4): 212-235. 2016.Mind uploading speculation and debate often concludes that a procedure described as gradual in-place replacement preserves personal identity while a procedure described as destructive scan-and-copy produces some other identity in the target substrate such that personal identity is lost along with the biological brain. This paper demonstrates a chain of reasoning that establishes metaphysical equivalence between these two methods in terms of preserving personal identity.
