U. Leicester Students find problems with uploading

[Drashner1]

They're assuming that you need to scan the brain down to the quantum level and are looking at the maximum possible amount of data involved. Other than Roger Penrose, no other researcher in studying the brain has suggested that quantum effects are involved in the operation of brains. Nor is there any particular reason to think that a fully functional brain is using anything near the maximum possible amount of information (other than human conceit that we are so uber special that it just must require that much to characterize something as special as we are).

Bottom line: They are looking at an absolute worst case scenario that is highly unlikely to reflect the reality of how brains operate.

I don't see anything here to indicate that either uploading or 'beaming' is in any danger or is any less possible.
