You might also consider yourself as dying every time you sleep and waking up a different person. Any interruption of consciousness could be a mini-death.

- Grazester 6y agoNot the same thing. When I fall asleep and wake up, I don't wake up a new copy of myself.
- kthejoker2 6y agoAs far as you know? Or rather: if someone invented real life transportation but it required you to be sedated, what would be different? It's only the conscious/unconscious aspect that's troubling. Imagine all of the yous that have ever woken up are in fact copies of yourself. Now imagine it happens every time you sneeze (again - why not?) Makes the concept seem fairly innocuous.
- ch4s3 6y agoI think that's an interesting line of thought, especially if you replace sleep with anesthesia.
