Yes, agreed.

However, as a down-to-the-earth person, without big expectations for
reaching true immortiality within my lifetime, I would be pretty happy
if I could write a simple program to perpetuate my will after my death:

while (true) {
   pay (Bill, $100); // Bill will make sure that this
                     // program remains running.
   pay (John, $100); // Charity.
   sleep (1 month);
}
