Even if that were possible, and theoretically we could take the entirety of a person's brain and emulate every synapse into digital storage, along with enough compute to run everything (which is a massive hurdle to overcome), would it really still be you?
I kind of think about it a bit like the transporter deck from Star Trek. Are those people really travelling somewhere else or are they getting cloned and then done like Hugh Jackman at the end of The Prestige?
How would anyone even know? A computer simulated you would seem like you to everyone else, but you'd already be gone.
