You would still be you, because you can't be another one, even if the other one is exactly the same that you isn't you. There are two individuals.
| TWRoO said: Yes individual cells regenerate, but not all at once... if all cells in the body are destroyed then the thought processes running at the time of destruction would be stopped. As such the newly created body would essentially be a blank slate. And a dead one at that as the heart is regulated by an electrical pulse, though admitedly in that case it would be possible to start the heart with a defibrillator. If that turns out to be a requirement of teleportation though I am pretty sure it won't become a viable method of transportation. As Dodece mentioned though, if the processes in the body are stopped, either by complete suspended animation or by destruction then re-construction of cells, then the mind would not be recovered. If there is to be a viable method of complete suspension or teleportation then the thought patterns in the brain have to be mapped and stored somehow before being transferred back into the body (be it the original if coming back from suspension, or a new identical body in the total cell reproduction case) |
The problem is that brain cells degenerate quite quickly. They start to loose their information only 3 minutes after losing oxygen. However this can be extended somewhat by cooling to 5 to 10 minutes. Controlled clinical death at 18 degrees C (draining blood and stopping brain functions) can be as long as 1 hour with full recovery afterwards.
It might be possible to start up the brain again if it could be fully reconstructed without damage.
