If there was a clone of you, would it matter to you if you were the original or the copy

Say you knew that one of you had to die (a violent death)? Do you care if say your original was killed and the copy was allowed to stay?

The clone is simply a copy of you. It’s not actually you. It’s not like your consciousness will transfer from your body to the clone’s body when you die. You’ll just be dead and now the clone is banging your woman.

If one of us has to die, it sure as shite isn't going to be me. I'm not taking one for the team just because I might be a clone and it's his life.

Now if we're both allowed to live, then he can keep his life and I'm finally burden free. Enjoy the stress, sucker!

Is my conscious in both the original and the copy?

Yes, all of your memories are transferred to the clone.

In this case, yes. Your memories are transferred

It’s actually a concept from a movie I watched recently that partially played with the idea. Do you care about your other self?

I doubt there are many anime fans here but this is the backstory of one of the Villains (Twice) on MHA. He has the power to make copies of himself and others and at one point he made so many copies of himself that he didn't know whether he was the real one or a copy and he went insane.

From a personal standpoint, Scruffy would care.

Despite being identical, we would still be two entirely different beings.

If I died, I would still be dead from a personal standpoint.

This scenario is dumb.

Why would I? That person isn’t me.

Go watch the Black mirror episode titled White Christmas and get back to me. Being the clone would suck.

Think of a clone and an identical twin.
Are they the same person?
