But... if you can't prove humans have an intangible soul then you're just setting yourself up to be a bigot against uploaded people. Oh, you could easily be right about the soul but I'm thinking of a future when uploaded humans are, or would otherwise be considered, "posthumans."

The plots possibilities are similar to analogous complaints against cloned humans. Would you then call them second-class citizens or no-rights slaves?

Consider, what is the harm if you are right versus if you are wrong? Seems like an asymmetrical risk versus reward ("though shall not kill" and all that).
