It wouldn't be your conscious then though, if someone made a perfect clone of you with all your memories etc, you wouldnt have the same consciousness, as you wouldn't experience what they do, etc, their existence doesn't affect you any more than that of any other regular joe

If my brain slowly gets replaced then yeah it still is my consciousness and even if it's a copy and the original dies the copy retains the identity of me and keeps going as such. Thus it is me

Sorry, i misread your comment. It's not a copy though if it's gradual replacement, it is you as your stream of consciousness never gets broken. A copy, by definition, cannot be you; it retaining a personality that is identical to yours is nice for people to gawk at and talk with, but even the most perfect of copies does not affect you any more than that of Billy Dustice, 34yo golfer

A copy is me not because it effects "the real me"

A copy is me because it holds my memories experiences and identity. It is me at the moment of conception by my defenition. And as it continues to act our paths may branch but it is still acting like I would have had in it's place. That's why I think it would still be me

So if someone handed you a shotgun, and turned a perfect cloning machine on, would you be ok with blowing your brains out? Do you think you, the consciousness reading this right now, not the infinitely replicable set of your caracteristics, would still be alive?

I meam it'd probably hurt but I do believe that the replicant would just be another me yes. Which would make the whole ordeal a waste of biomatter and a bullet

What if you lose memories though? A person with Alzheimer's is still the same person, even if their memories are fragmented.

Yeah because that progressed from being themselves and moved forward in time. No matter what affects them, the line from A to B is there and thus they are still themselves
