Splitting of Self?


__________________________________________________  Time Line

T1				T2							T3



Left brain			split brain			reconnect brain
Right brain




Person 1			Person 1*			Person 1 again
				    Person 2



At T1 there is one person. 
When the brain is split, between T2 and T3 there are two persons.
At T3 there again is only one person. 


Compare the way a river divides for some distance and then reunites. 

Suppose between T2 and T3, Person 1* dies. 
	Has Person 1 survived?

Suppose that between T2 and T3, Person 1* kills Person 2. 
	Is this murder?
	Suicide?

Sometimes on mathematics exams there are two ways to do a problem. Are students
who split their brains at the start, and reconnect at the end to compare results,
cheating?
