Woke up thinking about this: if you could perfectly clone yourself right now, but the clone appeared on the other side of the planet with no memory of you, would you consider that person "you"? Or just a copy?
My gut says copy, but then... what makes *me* me? Is it just the accumulated memories? Or something else entirely? Seems a bit messy to unpack before coffee.
