The same person? Not a facsimile...

I think that you would actually find a lot of different answers from different persons on that. Let's ramp it up a bit: Familiar with the alias problem? Let's say you clone a person, and just before it wakes up you also copy the memories from the 'original'. Clone wakes up. Original is still alive.
Are they both the same person?


When I was a Christian, I was annoyed with dogmatic condescending Christians. Now that I'm an atheist, I'm annoyed with dogmatic condescending atheists. Just goes to prove that people are the same, regardless of what they do or don't believe.
