The clone in the movie is a carrier that carries memories like data. This is completely feasible in theory, but it will cause a problem of which is "I", the clone or the main body. Let us start from the operating mechanism of the brain. The formation of memory and the operation of thinking are mainly due to the transmission of neurotransmitters and the establishment of synapses. Simply put, it is the conduction and accumulation of substances. The human brain is a supercomputer that human beings can never imitate mechanically. The exploration of the human brain will be an important mission for human beings in the future. In the film, the human brain has been well explored, and the extraction and engraving of memory can be completed with simple instruments. Therefore, to create a body that is very similar to the body and engrave the same memory is equivalent to engraving the same data with a hard disk of the same model, and then throwing away the old hard disk, even if it is the "rebirth of this hard disk" ". This is completely wrong. It may be no different to other people in the society, as long as the quality of the hard disk is reliable (the social function of the clone is the same as the original), it can be used continuously. But the ontology's brain stopped functioning, and that clone was just another human being that was infinitely similar to the ontology. To the clone, I am a different person than the original. As for the ontology, I am dead.
