As I said--not conclusive, but strongly suggestive. An identical construct THERE (running through identical states, etc.) should feel whatever is felt HERE--thus you would have one shared consciousness in two locations. I see no particular problem with that. The "different entity" is not different at the level of personhood, only at a lower, "instantiation" level.
