If there is a distinction there should be a difference. Given that a teleported human is indistinguishable from the prior non teleported human there is no difference and thus no distinction.

Incorrect, the consciousness of the original human is gone, and the consciousness of the new human is operating under memories it did not directly experience.

No distinction from the outside, and from the inside a different consciousness, one that didn't exist the moment before.

Yeah you repeatedly have stated that. Could you maybe respond to what people say instead of endlessly reasserting your position?

I have responded to every reply with nuance and detail, and expounded on every facet of my position, but you want to pretend that I haven't.

Intellectual dishonesty. I came here to get away from that so onto the block list you go!
