Programmers can answer all existential questions with ease

They are, on the exact moment they are cloned. On the next attosecond they are not.

Edit: Well, if they are cloned on the cellular level, otherwise it’s just NO.

Why cellular level?

Environment affects gene expression so cloning below the cellular level (genetic cloning) results in an individual that does not have the same developmental changes caused by environmental factors that the original had. With current technology genetic cloning has been done and cellular cloning is not possible.

You have no idea what cloning is, right? You’re too young to remember Dolly

What if they’re placed into two completely identical environments?

Quantum multiverse theory says that happens all the time.

Maybe something else would be different on the other side of the universe

Is there a universe where that doesn’t happen all the time?

Well, an infinite multiverse doesn’t mean there’s a universe for every concept, just that there’s an infinite number of multiverses, and a quantum multiverse only guarantees a universe for every possible series of events (except those that necessarily lead to that universe’s destruction.)

Except in the universes where that’s different, of course : )

What if it happened already?
