Would It Fly: Digital/Transferable Human-Consciousness?

Attention listeners, this is your Captain speaking.  I would just like to take this opportunity to remind you that while flying WIF Airlines is indeed the safest means of transport, it never hurts to back-up your mind prior to any long distance travel.  Once you've done so, you'll have peace of mind knowing that if your body is destroyed, WIF Airlines insurance policies will provide you a new sleeve in which you can then be downloaded.

On today's episode were blasting off to a hypothetical, yet reasonable path of future technology and discussing the potential of such tech that would allow the computer mapping of the human mind.  If possible, could humanity practice the ability to move ones mind from body to machine to other.  The downloadable conciousness, would it fly?
