Kerrrrist in a sidecar, haven't we solved the problem
like five years ago? As long as two (three, four, ...)
copies remain in synch, they're the same person. There
is no measurement procedure which can tell them apart.
This can only occur in extremely controlled environment,
like a simulation where both the upload (deterministic
model) and upload's input are identical down to a single
bit.
If this does not happen, a fork occurs, and you have
two individuals. At this point to have to ask the
individuals, whether they mind being terminated. The
answer is personal, I would very much mind being terminated
after I can become aware that we've forked.
I don't get it. This topic is so dead, it's not even smelling
anymore.
