    What if you don’t keep your memories and just come out as a genetically identical baby of yourself? Turritopsis dohrnii sounds like a cnidarian or some sort (I know loads of jellyfish have life cycles like that), and they don’t have brains, so there’s no part of their metamorphosis back to the larval phase (whatever it’s called for cnidarians) that would preserve your brain.

      I don’t see much of a problem with it. Havig an iteration of my body remain, that could possibly be reeducated to be me, is a better alternative than stopping to exist, that the current model of existence guarantees.
