I know that's impossible for many reasons, but which body would you wake up in if somebody would make an exact subatomic-perfect duplicate of your body. Wouldn't the copy become just a twin having identical memories and believing he's you? Wouldn't you still only see the world from the point where you've been rather than where your copy has emerged?

Maybe he would be just like you up to the point the copy was made, after that you'd have different experiences (even if it is by having a different perspective of the world), and maybe that's enough to have the sense of his own identify?

Maybe you'd be the same in a fraction of an instance in time?

Maybe you'd never be the same because the process of duplication is an experience within itself enough to develop a different self?

Who knows :D
