We know in the case of two identical twins, they don't have mixed consciousness or abilities to know the thoughts of the other (naturally speaking), and identical twins are the very obvious case that material arrangements have no reflection at all to your unique self-awareness, self point of view, and consciousness; because it's a no-brainer that two identical twins are two different persons with different consciousness and awareness, they have two different souls even though they have the same genetic materials, although perhaps not exactly identical as they grow in the womb. But in the natural world, as you grow, live, repair your body, etc., naturally you can't possibly have two identical persons which mirror each other to the very sub-atomic particles, and so true replication of consciousness is not possible. You may simulate a "manufactured" person which can somehow carry over memories and behaviors of a previously deceased person, (if the activation is post-mortem of the copied person), but there's no way whatsoever to verify that this re-live copy of the dead person is the actual "resurrected" dead person, because if you can manufacture a person artificially, you can turn this person on when the copied person is still alive, and the copied person will not die for natural reason, unless we can prove that we can play with souls through material re-arrangements, that is the copied person's soul has to adapt to - somehow - certain material formation. Again, we've seen more familiar cases when people who have apparently died, regained their consciousness as who they are again, like the NDE cases; their consciousness is attached to their bodies even after they are "dead". Or, we've seen witnesses of the Apostles about resurrection accounts through miracles of Christ, and Christ Himself who was raised and is now risen. Souls exist, and they have their own unique bodies and existence to each self; "reverse-engineering" human beings will never be natural in its bodily functions in the first place, and hence can never be said to equal naturally given / arising human existence and consciousness, when we can prove that even through natural means, we can't duplicate mirror bodies, yet alone souls; yet alone implanting conscious "souls" to "manufactured" human beings.

At 23:00 we have Differents modes of cognition: Intelect And body The union is what causes life not life in itself is the difference between life and death that union is named soul.
