Just to clarify, not all Bioconservatives eschew Backup technologies correct? I noted that the Jovian Spy has a month of Backup Insurance (which I would guess would see him resleeved into a cloned Flat body) and wanted to be sure this wasn't a typo. I can see a "You Again!?!?" moment here... if the characters are under the general impression that all bioconservatives are one-kill opponents and seeing the pesky fellow coming back for round 2!

Bioconservative and Back...
As far as I know, one month of insurance for all characters is a rule. Gamemaster can ignore it for the "reality"'s sake, but this would make the character much less playable - it's got only one life. So, it's up to GM and players if they want to make one-time characters...
That may be a good ground for roleplaying - will character, who has witnessed death of a friend or another person close to him, and then meet him/her again, want to lose everything by dying?
And not every Bioconservative is going to be a hardliner on every part of their Faction. You might have Bioconservatives who are very much against the use of Cyberwear and Synths, but are fine with BioMorphs for example.
Just like every member of, say, the Ultimates is going to be a militant psycho who thinks everyone else is a weak jackass and needs to spend some time upgrading themselves. Its a fairly fundemental part of their beliefs, but you might get the occasional member who is closer to the centre field.
In a world where as much shit has gone down as in this one, I can't really blame people who just can't handle it, and fall back to paranoia or isolationism.
