I would answer yes to this, but with qualifications that aren't very
important here. We can discuss them later.

If Bob1 is destined to die in his sleep tonight then I'm afraid it's
curtains for Bob1. He will die no differently than he would were he Bob2's
identical twin brother. His brain will stop functioning. His pizza-loving
identity will cease to exist. May he rest in peace.
