Read the "otherland" books by Tadd Williams. One of the (many) twists in the story involves the Grail brotherhood, a group of extremely wealthy individuals who make a computer copy of their brains, and activate it at the exact moment of their death. Yes, their actual bodies die, but because they do so at the same time as the computer program goes online, they can't tell the difference. If they stayed awake after the creation they would have diverged and had different memories from the mechanical model, but as it was in the book they skipped that part. Of course, like in all good sci-fi, something goes horribly wrong....
