It a replica it is not "me". It is a replica so it can not be "me" A replica is not the same person as the original so it is not "me". Me is a singular meaning term bias argument My conscious has a singular perspective so "I" am singular argument

Imagine the creation of two (or more) people from one fertilized human egg. They are made identical in every way at every moment of their lives. The matter that one is made of is recycled into the other and visa versa. They have identical structure and functioning at every moment. Eventually they are able to speak and communicate what they think and desire. Their experiences are identical and produced at exactly the same time. Their behaviors are identical. They think they are the one and only "me". They are not aware of the existence of each other. Every physical aspect are identical except that they are made of different matter and exist in a different place. The matter used in one is recycled into the other. Eventually all the matter in one in now in the other and visa versa and exactly in the same relative positions they were at a previous time in the past. There is also the condition where there is a repeat of a previous section of structure and functioning.

These two cidentireplicas of each other at this point in the experiment now have the matter that before were in the other one when they had the
