What we want is to have a singular, relatively continuous instance of your
consciousness in the Universe at a time. So how about this modified beaming
up . . .
1. Send body as above.
2. Keep 'Earth' body in suspension indefinitely (cost can be borne by the
sent person) --> bypasses ethical issue of destroying a sentient being.
3. When/if the 'Gallius IV' body wants to come back, get 'Earth' body
again, and _alter its brain structure_ to contain 'Gallius IV's'
experiences/consciousness. Add any new physical changes, such as sex
changes, muscular enhancements, what have you, and activate the body!

You are suggesting that humans would have revisions like software.... just download the "patch" and have an improved product! I love the idea! Just imagine all the add-on packages you could get...
- MemoryManager 2.0 for Human version 2.6,
- Optics Upgrade Accessory Pack (comes with 500 free hours of AOL service!)
- Norton Antivirus patch for Biologicals (now THAT would be cool!)
- Disk Defragmenter for Wetware
.. the list goes on!
