Bruno,
            I don't really remember what saying yes to the doctor entails.
If it signifies a willingness to be cloned by computation, shouldn't we be
saying yes to the Star Trek technician who controls the transporter? m.a.

 That is why I insist so much on the fact that saying yes
to the doctor ask for an act of faith, then all what I say becomes
relatively explainable from that act of faith.
