I wonder if memories and personality traits are actual recorded information in the brain, like data on a hard drive.
It would have to be in the destroyed original -> clone scenario, otherwise you'd end up with an empty shell on the other end.

I don't know anything about quantum mechanics, this is just the thought I had when I read this thread.

My theory isn't mine. I saw it on one of the discovery channels that had japanese physicist michio kaku on it. People posed questions to him and he'd take time and come up with what it would likely take to make it happen.
