I would agree with Thomas and slightly change it to: It is highly worthwhile to truly resurrect everyone and every creature who once lived - if we can do it without harming anyone else. And, if we can offer a plesant place for all of them to live forever, etc etc. And if the lions don't eat the deer, but eat only virtual deer, ect. Hitler burns only virtual Jews and Jews hang only virutal Hitlers. Or, they all learn and agree to get along from now on. Hey folks, if you really want Heaven on Earth, you're gonna have to do some work. But wouldn't it be lovely........ >But only one of those quadrillion versions has any real claim >on our morality or our attention, and we do not know which one. Imaginary >beings have no clear moral right to become existent beings. But, *if* we do have the technology some day in the future, and I suspect far into the future we will, then it will be a moral thing to do; to resurrect those exact creatures that lived before.
