I love being alive. I love suffering. I love it all. A clone is not going to claim my flesh and blood

Staying Alive - The Scenarios

The teletransportation has taken place. Welcome to Mars!

Round 2 - Silicon or Virus?

Life on Mars turns out not to be a bed of roses. In fact, two strange viruses have evolved on the planet which are causing a lot of problems. The first destroys body parts. Fortunately, medical science is very advanced, which means people can simply be given artificial limbs and organs as required. Youā€™ve been hit pretty hard by this virus and, in fact, almost your entire body is now made up of artificial parts.

However, there exists a second virus that attacks the brain. It is peculiarly nasty in that it doesnā€™t destroy the brain, rather it messes up the neural pathways, leading to a loss of memory and also a change in personality traits. One person who had the virus had been a successful author. Now he canā€™t write a word, but heā€™s become rather good at exotic dancing. It is indeed an odd virus.

Unfortunately, you have carelessly managed to catch the virus. Medics can get around the virus by replacing pieces of the brain with advanced forms of silicon chip. In your case, they would have to do this to almost all of your brain. But trials show that you can be sure that the result will be the total preservation of your memories, personality, plans, beliefs and so on, and a person as able to carry on living a normal life as is, well, normal.

The alternative is to succumb to the virus with its consequent loss of memory and change in character.

You must make the choice which you think will give your self the biggest chance of surviving.

Iā€™ll take the silicon, thanks
Let the virus do its worst
