> Your choices are consistent with the view that bodily continuity is necessary for personal survival. You risk death on the spacecraft, allow your mind to be messed around with by the virus and allow your soul to be destroyed so that your body (or at least your brain in a body) can have a chance of staying in existence. And it does.

apparently i have survived. the "virus vs silicon" choice was very easy, i already took something that changed my entire personality and rewrote my memories (mtf hrt)

> But is this survival of you? Is it enough for your body to continue to exist if your personality, wishes, beliefs, desires and memories do not?

it's the survival of a version of me and that's enough imo
