One step is to stop caring so much about DNA, glorified run-of-the-mill recipe for proteins and alike (is it really important with what soldering iron was the RAM soldered on your computer?), and start looking at bioelectrical patterns. If all a "person" is is some kind of dynamical pattern, a state machine, if you will, drawn by voltage-gated ion channels [1] and mechanisms alike, then there is nothing mysterious when similar state machines are in the same state: nothing out of the ordinary if I boot up two different but same specification devices with the same operating system and I land, even with different RAM mappings, on the "same" desktop.
