They do not experience the same stream of consciousness under MWI, by
definition. They come into existence under MWI precisely *because* each
must experience 1 of 1000 different possible outcomes to the experiment.
This is true also for non-MWI methods of duplication in that each is
observing a slightly different reality at the time of his creation, even
if that difference is only as a matter of perspective.
