Dаy 2 InstructiоnsWelcоme tо Dаy 2 of the Midterm Exаm. Below you will find the full text of what you wrote on Day 1. You may copy and paste from it freely as you continue working.Your Day 2 submission is what will be graded. Use this session to:Continue writing where you left off.Revise, restructure, or strengthen your argument.Add engagement with sources you did not address on Day 1.Develop your response to objections more fully.Reminder: Your essay should be 800–1,500 words. All original exam instructions and constraints still apply.A note on your Day 1 Essay: You raise the one-to-one relation issue through Huemer, and that's a genuinely important observation, but you move past it too quickly. Consider whether the overlapping clones scenario connects to Parfit's own discussion of branching cases and what happens to identity when Relation R holds between one person and multiple continuers. This is not the same as arguing the clones are "straightforwardly different persons" (which the Forbidden Case Constraint prohibits). It is an argument from within the reductionist framework about what happens to the corporation's analogy when the one-to-many structure is made explicit. Also, make sure your engagement with Siderits goes beyond quoting, explain how the passage you cite connects to the specific claim you're making.Day 2 Wrinkle: As you continue your essay, consider the following claim from Parfit: the reductionist view does not entail that we should be less concerned about our future welfare rather it entails that we should be more concerned about the welfare of others. How does this claim bear on the argument you are making?Your Day 1 Writing:     My first thought when seeing this modification to the scenario is that it make little to no difference to the moral status of the arrangement when looking through the eyes of the corporation. In this modification both clones are still operating the same way and under the same deception. Therefore when it comes to the moral status nothing has really changed other than the fact that there is one more lie added on top but that doesn't necessarily mean anything  to the corporation when you think of all the morally unjust things already happening within the arrangement. They could also make the argument that the second clone would have been woken up at the end of the current clones time anyways so it doesn't make a difference. Huemer would argue that this is because the "one-to-one relation" has been broken therefore Sam Bells identity cannot be with two different people experiencing two different lives. Furthermore, becoming different people based on those separate experiences.  This could be argued with every clone used in the operation whether two used at once or not. This is because each Sam Bell experience is slightly different even if not in big ways they experience different thoughts, dreams, and issues. As we know these things though seemingly very small make an impact on who we are and how we change further separating the clones from each other and from the original Sam Bell. Since, we are not arguing against the corporation as a whole and the judiciary has been convinced that the clones are in fact not different people and are convinced of the Buddhist Doctrine of No-Self we are unable to stand on this argument. Siderits gives the example “Uddyotakara next considers a new Buddhist strategy: when we say the self does not exist, by “self” we only mean something you imagine to exist.” to further explain the Doctrine of No-Self. When using this argument with the given situation you could argue that we project Sam Bell onto the clones. Therefore this is nothing wrong with the arrangement using two clones at once and that is a given right to them by the original Sam Bell. Making it so as long as the operation functions the same way for both as it always planned to there is no further moral issue with them using two clones simultaneously to further progress the work.
