You're right, nothing is absolute, but that includes the program of "self" within your own brain. Think about it.

SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the philosophical implications of cloning as depicted in the movie "The 6th Day." Participants debate whether a perfect clone, created with all memories intact, would experience consciousness as a continuation of the original person or as a separate entity. Key points include the distinction between memory retention and the subjective experience of consciousness, with contributors asserting that if a clone retains memories of death, it would not feel like waking up but rather like living post-death. The discussion concludes that the awareness of the original individual does not transfer to the clone, making them fundamentally different entities.
