Subject: The Mind and Identity : Duplicates are Self

Lee Corbin wrote a small essay about duplicate identities. 

Some comments on usage of the term "me" :

I wouldnt say : "A copy of "me" is "me". However I do 
assume that our mind is an information process, and I 
consider a (partial) survival of my information process 
as (a same partial) *survival* of me. 

I include the word "partial" because in running states 
information processes can never be totally identical. Even 
when identical in a stopped state, they will diverge 
when running. But, for example a 99.99% survival, is 
quite acceptable to me.
