Extended Abstract: This paper aims at giving an overview of the ethical issues of the brain emulation approach, and analyse how they should affect responsible policy for developing the field.

There are four domains of ethical issues: - Work aiming at developing the technology and emulating animal systems. - The weakening of the unitary nature of death - Emulations of human individuals or humanlike minds. -The existential risks posed (or reduced) by emulation technology.
