In Marcelo Gleiser's article named "Is an Identical Copy of You, You?", the author states that making an identical copy of a person would not be pertect due to the errors in science.
Making an identical copy of a person is still a popular theme in films, but it also is a serious topic in science. I never denied that it would emerge in some day, and I can even accept that there would be another me living with me in the same world. However, I think there is no doubt that I wouldn't response for him because he is not me actually.
Firstly, although we have the same memories and experiences, we are two independent people without any physical connections. There is also no evidence that identical copied person could have a mental connection with the host person. It means that we wouldn't have a private "meeting" before one of us making a decision. The choice he making isn't my choice. Thus, we are different people having independent personalities.
On the other hand, he is just a copy. I don't think he is 100 percent as same as me; there will be some error that makes him differ from me. Physical copy is possible to be controlled, but mental copy is not. Maybe he could copy my activity; he would react just like me with anger, joy or sadness. However, my creativity and emotional expression are detailed and unpredictable, even I can't control it either.
Totally, I don't want someting strange happen to me in some days like files showing: people make copies, and the copies replace host.
