Contemplation of brain cloning and consciousness creates a feeling of paradox, then no-cloning theorem comes to mind. Right?

If it is indeed your line of reasoning, I don't understand how it is supposed to work. If the quantum state doesn't influence macroscopic behavior, then it's useless. If it does, then it will collapse.

I was being unclear. I'm wondering if the brain might hold probabilistic states for extended ("macroscopic") periods of time so that they can be observed/collapsed later, but not immediately.
