Subject: Mike Perry, just what do you mean?

To Mike Perry:

I'm not at all clear on just what you mean. Are you saying that a
duplicate which also had some kind of immediate nervous connection (say,
one brain with 2 bodies???) would be "the same" as the original? That
seems unlikely. It may be better, it may be worse, but with 2 bodies
instead of one it has to be DIFFERENT. And that difference would 
appear as soon as the duplicate existed. 

It's not even clear that this pertains to the original discussion. If
there is only one object/thing/consciousness, then you've just got a 
modification of yourself, not a duplicate in any sense. I thought we
were discussing duplicates, not modifications (a far larger area of
possibility, as I'm sure you know!).

Please explain further.

			Best and long long life,

				Thomas Donaldson
