Are you saying because they are different molecules and atoms, though formed in the exact same way, are seperate entities with individual identity and consciousness? So if self-reflection is key to self-awareness and the product or self-reflection is exactly the same as another, the identities are still seperate becaus the origins of matter are different?
I think that the difference is - and what matters is - not the atoms themselves, but how and where they are put together

I think that there are many factors that makes people different. Different genes and different birthplace and upbringing and environment overall, etc. Hmm... am I missing something in your question here?
