The whole "mind uploading" thing bothers me. WAY too many social and moral issues to even imagine. That is if it's even possible, which I think it is not. I can believe that the information and possibly even memories of someone might one day be uploadable into a machine from their brain neurons, but their actual sense of being, their soul? Impossible.

And Vinge's Singularity theory is outright frightening if you think of all (hell, even some of) the possibilities.

If human-kind stays it's current course, posthumanity will indeed be a very scary place. And we're only talking about 2 generations up the road. That ain't long.
