I think I get what you're saying, and I completely agree with the first parts. What I don't quite understand is how the conciousness would differentiate between the two clones in all scenarios.
If we create a copy and pause at the exact moment of creation, where both copies are exactly the same, how would the conciousness "choose bodies"?
If we kill the person first, doesn't that necessitate that the clone has been killed as well in that case?
why does it need to choose bodies?
