giving anyone permission to just manufacture more selves? No. Hell No.
This seems like a 1000× faster version of one ethnic group reproducing faster than another ethnic group in their neighborhood. And the slow version already makes people kill each other.
Analogically, how about social state? Are we going to guarantee at least some minimum human rights to ems? Because if we do, and if someone is happy to live at the minimum level, what’s going to stop them from making as much copies as possible, and letting the government pay or collapse? (Or perhaps illegal copies don’t have the same right? Now we have slavery.)
