While that subject is quite interesting in its own right, it doesn't have
any bearing on the replication issue within the philosophy of self, because
each of the "halves" is made substantially different by the process, i.e.
they have not simply been replicated, and indeed we have no reason to think
they constitute two people rather than one person with two bodies. The
conceptual crisis with replication is quite another thing.
