Not so. John explicitly stated that the original would be set free, and 
asked how the original would feel about the prospect of his duplicate 
being tormented. Since I am the original prior to any duplicating, I 
know I'm safe if the psychopaths keep their promise, which seems 
unlikely). What happens in the consciousness of the duplicate *after he 
is created* is a different matter, because the poor bastard will 
remember everything I do.
