Why a duplicate cannot be the original - the final proof!
By:  David Pizer

1.    X is really distinct from Y if and only if X can exist without Y, and y 
can exist without X.

2.    By definition, a duplicate would have to be separate from the original 
to qualify in the discussions/debates we have been having on this subject as 
being a duplicate.

3.    SO, if there was a real duplicate, it could exist apart from, and 
without, the original and by premise one it would be distinct.  In other 
words, a duplicate is distinct from the original.

4.     THEREFORE,  a duplicate is not the original.

THEREFORE, destroying/killing the original and letting the duplicate survive 
results in the death (non-survival) of the original and therefore duplication 
is not a viable form of survival for any original.

---------------

Sorry boys and girls, uploaders-duplicators, you cannot survive through a 
duplicate.  Save those original neurons folks!
