I agree, I would too. In all honesty I'd selfishly vote to give it to a
sick loved one (my loved one) before giving it to him. I must point out
that this whole conversation (who should get the artificial body?) is
teetering on the edge of a eugenics debate and that personal opinions on
the 'value' of one person over another are totally subjective and
arbitrary.
