i'm a human. my body consists of about 10-100 trillion cells (give or take an order). you remove one cell from my body, and i'm still who i am, my identity and feeling of self-awareness hasn't changed. remove another cell and i am still myself. remove another... and another... and another... and i am still myself. keep removing my cells untill only one remains. is that single cell still me? was it still me, when there were ten cells? or a hundred?
