> Would you consider the replica equivalent to the original person?

Everyone would do this unless you believed in the intrinsic nature of soul

Humans are the sum of their lived experiences and epigenetics, so if you could replicate both, to you as an observer what would be the difference?

I've wondered about the subjective experience of "being alive" and whether - if I clone myself and the original me perished - I would continue to experience life. Reading the word "observer" makes me I guess I would, the clone has all my life's experiences and memories, and he'd just observe the memories, thoughts and feelings, and it'd be identical to my memories, thoughts and feelings.
