    the whole backup premise is flawed in that it's a cosmetic elastoplast for the benefit of peripheral society - not the individual who dies suddenly and tragically.

    if I die in some future deathmatch (instaGibbed by some lurking cretin, no doubt) and society invigorates a new physical host with my knowledge and character - no matter how effective and accurate it does this, it won't be me. It will be a facsimile of me. This new creature might well become me and be seen by friends to be me - but it won't be me. I died. And here I lie, rotting.

    So what's the point?
