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.) (end) 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.
