What risk does Lena's portrayal emphasize about immortality achieved through mind uploading?

• A. Endless exploitation for labor and experimentation without real consent
• B. Guaranteed consent and fair compensation
• C. Immortality with protections
• D. Elimination of all labor by AI

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that immortality through mind uploading could hinge on treating uploaded minds as perpetual laborers or subjects of experimentation, rather than as fully autonomous beings. Lena’s portrayal highlights how powerful institutions might keep using these minds for work and testing, while true informed consent is difficult to establish or remains coercive in practice. The risk here is that consent becomes a hollow form if the underlying power dynamics—economic pressure, surveillance, or dependency—strip uploaded minds of real autonomy. This points to a persistent pattern of exploitation, not a guaranteed, protected, or labor-free scenario. So the portrayal emphasizes endless exploitation for labor and experimentation without real consent.
