    I’m that case no it wouldn’t matter. It would make us all feel much better about the possibility of life after the body dies though.

      What if a copy of you woke up in the morning? So you could see your dead body from yesterday, but consciousness would seem as continuous to you as normal–you went to sleep yesterday and effectively woke up today, just in a different body? Would it bother you knowing you weren’t technically the same you as yesterday, even if it seemed like it to you?

        Probably because I’d never want to sleep again. That would be a horrific way to find out you only have as long as you can stay awake.
