But did their "consciousness" continue? We currently have no way of telling.


Exactly whose consciousness would it be, if not theirs?


Let’s say you clone yourself l 1:1 who would you see thru?


A somewhat different question, but interesting! I assume by clone you mean an exact physical copy, down to a molecular level.

In my view, there would now be two separate instances of "my" consciousness simultaneously. "I" would continue to see through the original one, but the copy would essentially feel the same as me, although increasingly diverging as our experiences would not be the same from that point.
