This is where I have a problem with the concept of identical copies being
the same mind. There is a mystical belief that they are connected
telepathically in some unexplained way.
I have a twin brother. We do not have telepathy. None of the twins I have
ever met claimed to have telepathy. This seems to be something that
non-twins seem to think twins will have.
If the copy question requires telepathy to transfer my consciousness, I
definitely would not bet my life on it.
