But if they destroy you and recreate you, are you still alive or die in the process?

If you're entangled before you're destroyed have you really been destroyed?

Not the same as entanglement means you can’t have both parts at the same time, you just need to decide which one you’re gonna “use” while the other is destroyed.

Not really any different than going under general anesthesia.

For the recreated you, sure.

Or sleeping.

Or a rough Friday night out.
