If those "copies" are running in a quantum computer, 'you' have killed every non-you copy at every probability wave function collapse. In the evolution of this moment, you are/were currently the most "fit" for actual (non-virtual) existance. It is [un?]fortunate fo your that we are all entangled on the hardware that runs reality, else you really would be on your own. In that case you might find yourself in this situation:

<div>I must ask you: Why do you feel that you have the "right" or "entitlement" or "freedom" (or whatever *word* you want to use) to create and/or run conscious, artificial beings on your hardware and then do absolutely anything you want with them - morality being at your sole discretion?

My current working solution is that all of *my* copies going in know that they are subject to deletion -- just as my thoughts are.
