> if this software is ethical? IMO, it absolutely is. First, if fruit flies could suffer existential anguish the same way humans do, they would breathe in relief that digital upload is in sight. Second, even if the fruit flies don't care, a lot of (awful) humans would love a resolution to the matter of souls in a way that results in a raised middle finger to a forever-hypothetical Creator, and if we can't yet escape cancer, heart disease, parkinson and all the other awfuls, now at least the fruit flies are on their way out. Which rejoices said (truly awful!) humans, which will take what they can :-)
