In the leak she literally gets "uploaded" into the fembot. That would essentially kill EDI. Like a "soul" leaving a "body" and jumping into another "body".
What's a soul anyway ? And how can you apply that concept in fictional computing ? 
You cannot be that stupid...
Ok so let me put it that way: we actually don't know how EDI gets "uploaded" maybe it fits the lore, maybe not but who knows ?
And it will certainly not be answerd by making "soul metaphors", so we have to wait the actual game to see if it's good or BS
Well, we just have to read up on the ME1 codex entry on AIs.
According to the Codex, the data files that make up an AI's personality are stored in a device called a "blue box", which is a type of quantum computer. Without a blue box, an AI cannot function. Any attempt to copy these files into a different blue box will result in a completely different and unpredictable personality. (Hey look, it's the ultimate form of DRM!)
The way I see it, there is only one way for EDI to actually be transferred to a different body, and that's to have her blue box physically moved out of the Normandy's core and into the Terminatrix's body. The only other option is to give her the ability to remotely "assume control" of other devices, like that comm terminal on the Collector ship, which she used to display her hologram avatar and project her voice. However, a true upload (like uploading a file from your hard drive onto a server) is not possible for an AI.
