These calculations get really messy because the future civilization reviving you as an upload is unlikely to have their population limited by frozen people to scan. Instead they probably run as many people as they have resources or work for, and if they decide to run you it’s instead of someone else. There are probably no altruistic QALYs in preserving someone for this future.

This reply made me really think, and prompted me to ask this question.
