    So if a perfect copy of you existed, you’d be okay with being executed if it were painless? The other you lives exactly as you would,

      I see no reason to execute me when I could just fuck my clone, but if there were a copy of my and a bomb was set to go off I’d chill in one perspective’s last moments.

        Couldn’t be me. Another me existing would only mean my family wouldn’t have to mourn me, but I couldn’t just accept death because of it.

          • He wouldn’t exist. A copy of him that they could not distinguish would exist. He’d be dead.

            If you say that doesn’t matter to you, fine, but I don’t think it’s hard to grasp why a lot of folks wouldn’t be OK with it, especially as a daily form of transportation.

              If any entity that affects the world in the exact way I would is affecting the world the way I would have it affected, “I” exist.

              My dreams, memories, hopes, and desires propagate through what we call existence and there is zero difference if i was stored in a computer for a little while and or there is two of me.

            That was part of my point. It would be one less thing to worry about, my family doesn’t suffer the loss, but it doesn’t change that I wouldn’t just let myself die because of it.
