Changing the issue from murder to suicide might be interesting.
You’re the leftover meatsack. You wake up after the upload, and see UploadedYou frolicking in a virtual world. What would you have to see to shoot yourself in the head?
I doubt that’s going to seem like a good idea to this meatsack.
My two selves share memories, one of them slowing down for the occasion, and agree to kill their less useful body. See also Jack’s comment, though I don’t think it influenced me.
I’d do it, if I were confident in the procedure. I’d do it quickly, too, because the longer you wait and think about it, the more divergence occurs, and the more you lose.

And could you precommit to the suicide if an Omega was going to let you upload iff a simulated you chose to suicide in this case?
