Apply this to your own very active philosophy. Let us say that "you" are resurrected from the cold in the late 22nd century? The technicians of this later age, state upon your awakening: "Mr. Clark, the way science advanced over the years since your demise, demonstrated that to get you back to life, the easiest track to achieve was to scan the cold preserved brain of one, John Clark, and though the entire cortical data map of his life was available, the way we do things, the only way currently, is to build him a separate body, based on a very young clone of him, and transferred all data, memories, etc. Now, JC, is that clone, you??!! For me, it seems like it's Robert Nozick's, Closest Continuer. Physicist Sean Carroll would say that person wasn't you. My own feeling is like Nozick's, which is best expressed by the old American statement: "Close enough for government work." Now I simply must add this part in. "Mister Clark, we know that you have ever been a loyal liberal, and pursuant to this knowledge, we must warn you that the Earth is now the polity of Donald the Golden, recently, resurrected from the infrared of the past light cone about earth's orbit. We have provided a very nice residence on Mars Terrarium, Magnus Tharsis, where you will be welcomed. Unless, of course you choose to remain here, where you will have the opportunity to kiss The Donald's ring!.. Armipotens dudum celebrari praeter in Socialās ex timore! :-D

And as John Clark has been saying for years, if "you" is duplicated then there is no longer such a thing as "THE first person" there is only "A first person".
