I can't see any point in turning it off. Run it to the end and you will live, turn it off and "current you" will cease to exist. What can justify turning it off?

EDIT: I got it. Only choice that will be effective is top-level. It seems that it will be a constant source of divergence.

If current you is identical with top-layer you, you won't cease to exist by turning it off, you'll just "become" top-layer you.
