So you're fine with cloning consciousness as long as it initially runs sufficiently glitchy?
- mrob 9mo agoIf a "cloned" consciousness has no memories, and a unique personality, and no awareness of any previous activity, how is it a clone? That's going well beyond merely glitchy. In that case the main concern would be the possibility of slavery as Ar-Curunir mentioned.
- lxgr 9mo ago> how is it a clone? That's my point exactly: I don't see what makes clones any more or less deserving of ethical consideration than any other sentient beings brought into existence consciously.
- mrob 9mo agoMy whole argument assumes that the clones are equally deserving of ethical consideration.
