River ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But from your persepective, would you notice a difference?
Wouldn't you? I mean, the rest of the world mightn't (okay, everyone corresponding to you off the internet might), but you die, and another you keeps going. How can you get this unique spark of sentience in that vessel?
(in 1000 years, that question may look really stupid. But anyone from 1000 years in the future reading this needs a life anyway)
Well, if you mean eating in the literal sense.
Nothing I've ever swallowed has been capable of a conversation. The talky bits of meat stayed alive and undigested.

But from your persepective, would you notice a difference?
Well, the from the clone's prespective, no (except for it "living" in a computer of some sort).
But from your perspective, you'd still die. It's a weird paradox.
Say you go to get your brain cloned. You walk into a box where the cloning happens. You walk back out, still yourself. Nothing's changed. You're still gonna die.
But you also walk out as a computer-hosted brain-thingie. You get to live forever. Hooray.
Essentially there's now two of you, with the same memories and everything. One of you has to die.

One of you has to die.

There can BE only one.

Yeah, except in SciFi television one of you would have a goatee.
Cloning my consciousness is so off if either of us needs to have a goatee.

If I have all my memories, there's a continuity of consciousness, and I'll still be 'me' in my head.
Of course, cloning tech will have to catch up first, 'cause I don't want to have to get used to a different body.
(It probably doesn't help that the last book I read was Broken Angels.)
Does that mean that my clone would have to shave smooth? Wouldn't be a happy camper if he had my mind.
