If you had yourself - your precise genetic information and memories - stored somewhere ready to be resurrected as an exact replication of yourself at the point of your death, would you be immortal? Or would that replica be 'someone else'? If the tangent of experience you know as yourself came to an end only to be resurrected minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years or millennia later, would you consider yourself to have died at all (and by 'dead' I mean true finality - whatever your thoughts an afterlife may be)? Would that tangent ever have truly finished in the face of objective change? Would you be immortal or would many, almost identically similar people on separate tangents of existence just give the illusion of it?
