The majority of transhumanists are quite happy with their biological bodies, they would just prefer to live a bit longer than 75 years. 2. You cannot assume that a person's mind is inseperable from their brain, ever, as no tests have ever been performed, and the "copy" would perfectly emulate the original and insist that it IS the original. 3. Really, other than this I think that you actually have a pretty good page. Here are some flaws with your argument:
