Well at one time there is only one cell. At that point they are the
same. Which was my point.

Well actually you are doing it right now ;-) I do believe that we are in
total agreement. I cannot see how anybody can argue that two copies are
the same.
The moment they are seperated they start having different experiences.
The simple fact alone that they cannot both take up the same piece of
space-time will give them different experiences.
I just tried to say that whether the bifurcation takes place at the
featus level, or later, has no importance. And that there is precedence
in nature.
