My conciousness shuts down every night, I don't believe a little discontinuity in the movement of every atom will matter.
Conciousness tends to lag out now and then too. Never been driving and suddenly wondering how you have already ended up 10 minutes later with no recollection of the journey in between?
I don't know exactly what conciousness is, but I do believe it is closely tied to the brain.

And I think philosofists will be shaken much more then religious people once we're able to make a real thinking AI, that can be copied, saved and restored. Simulating a human mind is much further off as is recording the state of a human mind. But I don't think we need to go all the way down to the atomic or quantum level to make a copy. I believe the mind is part of the software, not part of the hardware.

I agree on the part that the 2 minds will instantly diverge from each other since they can never have the exact same input. Simply letting each person know who is the copy and who is the original will make a huge difference in their internal state. And who knows maybe some random number generator does play a part in certain decision making. Resorting to coin flipping and asking the magic 8 ball is a common practice after all.

Didn't you learn anything from watching Aliens

There are two different 'you's, that are different persons from that point on.

In my case I will know I am me because I was born with a birthmark which I later got removed, so my clone will still have that birthmark and also the memory of having it removed as well which will confuse it. All of the scars i have obtained over the years will not be in my genetic code, therefore not being on my clones body. My clones body will be pretty much a perfect version of my body, no scars, not over weight, etc.. Also since I'm not actually dead I should be dreaming (a la vanilla sky) my clone wont have any dreams since when it wakes up that will be it's first breath of life I'm assuming.

Assuming you are looking for a reasonable answer we can skip discussion of souls or other religious concepts divorced from scientific truth and reason. Really, the scenario you are presenting is no different than how human cloning would work with the difference being that the clone in this case was is artificially aged to your own approximate age along with implanted memories.

You, of course, would still be you and you would wake up in your own body after being revived. Immidiately after being resuscitated you and the clone double of you will still be different in a number of ways ... your location being the primary difference since you both can't occupy the same space which means you will have different experiences from one another right away (which means subtle changes in personality and disposition among other things). 

Initially, you will both be very similiar, but as time goes on you and your double will grow more and more unique as you have different experiences and perspectives than one another.

Not really much of a philosophical mystery here. There is nothing morally wrong with human cloning from a reasonable standpoint ... it is really not all that much different in theory than reproduction. So yeah ... you would wake up and have a very good friend to explore the future with ... that is of course if you think you would like to hang out with yourself that is.

This is just like that film 'The 6th day'. Boy that film sucked!

I have actually made a less successful thread about a similar topic where the consciousness is divided in two parts. Talk about mindfuck :D

This, however, should be very easy to explain. Your consciousness stays the very same, and the 'new' clone is just another person with its own consciousness.

are we allowed to have the secks?

With yourself?

On that topic, a friend of mine theorised that if time is linear and unchangeable (ie if it were possible to go back in time, you would be unable to change anything) there is only one reason to travel outside your normal timeline, and that is in order to have sex with yourself... as such he designed a working time machine: A mirror with a hole in it.

"the police called today, they said they had found my body in a dark alley, dead... again"

herewith i claim this the first sentence of a story, i will have to write sometime in the future, inspired by this thread
