Very interesting. If I understand correctly, does this mean cloning is a functionally impossible task?

I've always been entertained by the paradoxes where someone is teleported ala Michael Crichton's Timeline, and is then (due to some glitch) "duplicated", leading to interesting quandaries about "who is who".

If Penrose is right about consciousness [0], this means all these fantastical paradoxes are just fantasy, right?
