But let me illustrate the moral concern that you have raised
with another story:

Suppose that in some awful future, the last truck leaving Phoenix
has room for only four dewars.  But there still remain five frozen
patients who need rescue.  Who should be left behind?  The most
recently signed up?  The eldest?  The youngest?

The correct answer to this question, is, WE WILL FIND A WAY TO
TAKE ALL FIVE.  PERIOD.

(In the same way, I would find a way to keep as many instantiations
of myself alive as I could.)

Lee, ever read the tragic science fiction shortstory called "The Cold 
Equation" which gave no way out but one for a horrific situation?  I 
recommend it to everyone.

John
