You can always say "no" when it asks if you want to continue life, unlike in Lena as some other commenter mentioned

Better than current reality, where "no" is shoved on your throat and most people insist you better be grateful about it

You should reconsider that statement. I mean, this is literally "at gun point" kind of situation.

No, I stand by it

Right now you are already forced to pick 'no'. It's a button that lets things go the way so many people claim to be necessary and proper. They can own up to deliberately choosing our current reality if they think our current reality is so much better

In a world where immortality is a given, being able to off yourself is one of the most important things an individual should have a right to do

This is a convincing argument, thanks for raising it.
is it a no? religions say otherwise. the problem is, we don't know. if we could upload into a computer but we would not be able to communicate with those uploaded, we wouldn't know anything about their continued existence either.
