Stories like this are kinda amusing when you consider that what it essentially boils down to is this. Some collections of carbon imbued with sentience are squabbling over who "owns" some other collections of carbon that were sentient a few millions years ago. Maybe a hundred million years from now something will be deciding who gets to own the carbon remnants of the people involved in this current predicament :)
