    No, I perceive the past. It is just not editable.

    You miss the point. I’m saying you could never be in two bodies at once … thus when a copy is made (transporter, cloning, transfer to a digital backup program,etc) … the original dies. The copy is not the original … unless logic dictates that a mind can be in two bodies at once … which it does not.

    There is an easy logic test to see if a person’s “mind” is really in a clone/copy/backup. If the original and the copy exist at the same time would the original perceive itself in two places? If not, then that “exact copy” method doesn’t work … the original just dies and a near copy is made. Someone mentioned the zombie theory earlier in the post … just about as creepy.

    Nope. If it makes a perfect copy of you during transport … you die during the transport.

    If you come through with a transporter clone your original mind doesn’t inhabit both of them … so your original mind will not inhabit either of them.
