Handicapped argument for superimmortality
The mortalist theory is that when you are dead you never experience anything ever again because you are tied to your body and when your body is dead there is no other body that will produce your consciousness ever again. Stated in terms of the ixperiencitness concept that superimmortality uses; only your present body can produce your ixperiencitness. When it comes to the handicapped individuals they only get what their one and only body will produce in terms of consciousness and ixperiencitness. This seems very unfair, and it is as if the universe does not care about the suffering and injustice that it creates.
The Soul theory has various predictions depending on the version that is being proposed The reason that there are so many versions of the soul theory of the self is that there is no evidence of a soul and no way to study a none existent thing. None the less, it is a more positive theory in the sense that It proposes that the soul lives on after the death of the body and if your body is handicapped your soul is not and can live on later in another body that is not handicapped. This seems more fair because others that are not handicapped can later suffer in a later handicapped body a handicapped life. This process can make being handicapped more fair but does not make the world a more caring place if to be fair to the present or past existing handicapped persons it has to make more handicapped individuals in the future. The not all versions of the soul theory predict that the universe is fair or caring towards individual souls and their bodies.
Of all three theories superimmortality makes a universe the most fair and caring toward conscious beings because of its predicted relationship of handicapped to none handicapped individuals. The basic principles that superimmortality is based on is that you are not tied to a specific body but to a large number of different structures and functionings of matter and energy or as the science of superimmortality calls it physapaths. Every ixperiencitness grouping has many different physapaths that it contains, some of them will be produced by handicapped bodies. But there are many that will not be produced by handicapped bodies.
