I would choose B. B is effectively the same as flipping a coin 100 times,
with a 50% chance of escaping the torture every time. If you say that every
time the button is pressed not only you are copied, but the entire universe
is copied sans torture, then this is almost exactly the same as flipping a
coin 100 times if MWI is true. Why do you think it's OK to be duplicated as
a result of the universe "splitting" and not OK to be duplicated by pressing
a button?
