Problem dealing with death as an atheist

[Whirling Moat]

Peace....

Think about it this way: every second, you are dying many times, and being reborn again. The same electrons/chemicals that create your consciousness a split second ago have already reacted. When you die, these biochemical reactions simply stop. Every x number of years, all the atoms in your body have been replaced. Yet, you still think that you are alive, because of the illusion that consciousness is continuous. However, the fact is that you are experiencing death right now, but are not aware of it because your memories interact with the 'new' consciousness that is created every second as metabolic processes power your brain. When you die, metabolic processes simply do not replace the chemicals that have reacted to produce consciousness, a process that you will not even fear.

So let us say that it was now possible to transfer all of a recently deceased individual's memories into an electronic device, and upload these memories into a cloned human form which was raised into adulthood entirely unconscious, would you propose that once the clone was awakened with the new memories it would be the dead person raised back to life? The same person? Not a facsimile...
