If they offered you the chance at virtualization...would you do it?
No way.
That virtualization would be a copy, an emulation, but it wouldn't be 'me'.
'Me' (Henry Quirk) is the sum, and on-going result, of flesh, bone, organ, and experience (I'm a finite, discrete, on-going, organic, event...that is: I'm not 'software' running on 'hardware'...I AM the 'hardware').
Instead: I'll have my major marrow producing sites seeded with nano-machines...the lil buggers can swim my blood, cleaning and repairing.
'I' get to live as 'myself' till squashed by a Mack, meteor, or man (if I'm careful: I might live to prospect and mine the *Oort Cloud).
*I'm bettin' it's strange there...all manner of frigid, organic, gumbos producing lord knows what...I'd like to see that place for myself
