Ksa:
Even if you are right about a version on me in another universe (which seems rather uncertain to say the least), would it be me?
It reminds me of the nerdy Star Trek transporter problem: When Ensign Red Shirt is transported the atoms that currently are Ensign Red Shirt are dispersed on the Enterprise and replicated out of other atoms on the planet. The person on the planet thinks and acts like Ensign Red Shirt A. But is the Ensign Red Shirt on the planet really Ensign Red Shirt that was on the Enterprise or merely a duplicate Ensign Red Shirt A1. And if so, did Ensign Red Shirt A die never to be conscious again? I would say Ensign Red Shirt A died and A1 was born with A's memories built in.
Any multiple mes would be like Jennys A1, 2, 3, 4. They may be exactly like me. But my consciousness would not be connected to them merely duplicated by them. Thus, I still only live once.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
