Yes, but it's not as easy as that.
To do genetic engineering, you need money.
People seem to invest a hell of a lot more into war than anything else... so... XD

Unit 731,
Biological research center.

God what they did was horrible, the data was used to create many antibiotics and medication. But after seeing that, after knowing what they did to get there. I wonder whether it was really worth it.

Tragedies must occur to save the masses. A sad truth that can be made obsolete with extremely accurate simulations, but then its just the same stuff, but to a virtual one.

Yes, but what masses are we truly saving?
Those who are greedy enough to cause severe torture on those less fortunate?

It no longer becomes "sacrifice 100 to save 100,000" it becomes "Sacrifice 100,000 poor people to save 100 rich people"

But look at how that's gone on to become millions being saved by the tech, if not billions.  Eitherway, lets just simulate it in the future so it becomes unecessary to conduct the tests on real subjects.

Well I'm not entirely sure if the results from Unit 731 saved billions...

But yeah, simulations would be good. Just hard to make XD

Not really all that hard.  Once you can upload your brain, it should be trivial to simulate such a thing.

But there's so much more, you can make inaccurate examples, but if you wanted to most accurate, you'd need to simulate the universe. To simulate the universe, you need to understand the universe and have the power to do so.

Also, you sound as if you think uploading the brain in itself is trivial o.o

Kinda is. You either gradually replace the frontal lobes into one lobe, or you essentially add computers as a second hemisphere and get an extreme lobotomy, but that needs research as to whether split brain people become two poeple in one body or not.

err... the problem isn't "what part does what" it's, how it does it.

Classical computers run through a binary, one input calculation system. Only one input a second and there's only two possible inputs, easy.
Brains however, use chemical neuro-transmitters through millions of interconnected [newly forming] synapses that reach a multitude of brain cells, at the same time. Multiple calculations happening at the same time. Folded in such a way that these calculations are translated into something we can comprehend in a process we still don't truly understand.

  We'd need to invent chemical computers if we wanted to realistically simulate the brain, even then it would be amazingly difficult.

Brains are turing equivelant, so not really. Ones and zeroes can easily simulate the 4 neurotransmitters. Furhtermore, while quantum computers still have to use ones and zeroes, they also use any number INBETWEEN one and zero, meaning they can do far more than the neurtransmitters with a single bit.

Also, quantum computing isn't just that too :P
As an atomic object can be in two states at the same time, a qubit can be a 1 and a 0, which, is just one atom so there is no superposition between.
Then you get to two qubits, which can be 00 an 01 and 10 and 11, BUT it can also be every possible superposition between the two qubits :P
