I think I get what you’re saying, and I completely agree with the first parts. What I don’t quite understand is how the conciousness would differentiate between the two clones in all scenarios.

If we create a copy and pause at the exact moment of creation, where both copies are exactly the same, how would the conciousness “choose bodies”?

If we kill the person first, doesn’t that necessitate that the clone has been killed as well in that case?

But if you say that a perfect copy of you is literally you, why would it matter if the “original” is destroyed or not? The result should still be the same (as in a copy that is a separate conciousness) no?

Funny you say that. Stuff Made Here released a Youtube video yesterday where he tried to do the opposite, a brownie tray that only makes the soft center!

Edit: Damnit, didn’t realise this was already linked…
