Imagine that at some point in the future, it becomes possible to replicate consciousness and convert it into digitized form where it can then be simulated on various hardware and injected into any scenario or environment.
For someone who gets their consciousness replicated, it would result in a form of immortality. Their original body would age and die, but everything that makes them 'them' from that point forward would reside in a digitized parallel existence. Such a simulated individual could be put into any variety of environments and scenarios where the normal limits of the human body and the laws of physics may no longer apply. Such a 'person' may find themselves transported to any variety of simulated worlds, ranging from complete utopias to utter hell-scapes.
Naturally, corporations would recognize how lucrative it would be to purchase the licensing rights and duplicate and sell consciousnesses. You may even find that the organization that you allowed to duplicate your consciousness had a clause in their fine print where they were free to make non-primary digital duplicates of you which could then be sold freely to third parties. While you may have been able to stipulate the world and environment that the original replicated consciousness would reside in, the duplicates of that replica (who don't know that they're duplicates), could end up anywhere, depending on who purchases them.
Would you buy such a consciousness? - It could some sexy chick who's libido you crank up by an order of magnitude so every time you connect your mind to the simulation she will want to fuck your brains out. Or, you give her a crucifixion fetish and leave her nailed to the cross for weeks on end or have her crucified repeatedly until her digital mind breaks and you have to reset it to factory default. - The possibilities would be endless. What would your scenario be?
When you think about what some of the people on this forum might do to you, if you were digitized, would you still bravely enter the machine? Could you handle the true cost of digital immortality?
