 The laws of physics that give rise to the fields neurons and microtubules
operate under, would have to be reproduced as well for uploading to copy
personal identity. It has been mentioned developing uploading is too hard to
contemplate pre-singularity. I would take this further: uploading is too hard
post-singularity; achieving it would require enacting new laws of physics.

  What makes you think the laws of physics will be exempt from editing
post-singularity?
