I wouldn't know. I'm not omniscient myself.There was never a choice. Each one is itself.But then, for the one still alive, there would be no longer a choice between being one or the other.
As long as they are identical they have the same properties so how could they have a different consciousness?

Not substantially.I don't know. I didn't say that it should or would.
Sure but all I said was that we can assume the machine could also do it. You can assume otherwise, too, it's fine.Yes, we can state such a hypotetical machine but that is a different function.

No you cannot since that would violate the specified thought experiment.
