  As making copies will be possible and useful in some
circumstances some uploads will go for it, some will
explore other options.

Thomas Weber: MU is not a single trail. You are right
it has to be very personal for each of us. We must
therefore be careful with projecting our plans to
others. You don't have to drop sexual instincts,
neither do I. I just don't see that much use for it
after uploaded. But if we want to - being able to
design ourselves as we please we may exist as  really
good looking androids and go after the prittiest girls
in town.
