Death by fission

Fission is the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts. If one head is chopped off and the body is alive to begin with then this act of fission produces the death of the body. Sewing back on the head will not bring the body back to life. To bring the body back to life it will take the restoration of the body to a state of structure and functioning that is normal for a live body. This alone may not produce a conscious body, because a body can be alive without being conscious. Restoration to identical structure and functioning as existed before death will produce a body that will act the same, have the same memories, and self identification that it did before the fission event. Will it be a restoration of the person before the fission event? The science of superimmortality predicts restoration of identical structure and functioning will produce the same self as before the fission event.

There are other types of fissions experiments that can be imagined. If there are two identical structure and functioning bodies and they are split down the middle and recombined with the other body's half so that they continue to be alive and produce consciousness and have identical structure and functioning, will there be death of the originals selves and then restoration of new selves in the resultant bodies? When there are four halves of bodies they will not be alive unless the four halves are sustained and continue to function in a normal fashion. There will be a discontinuity in body and consciousness unless there is instantaneous switching of body halves. Apparent conscious discontinuities can be eliminated by either of the bodies being asleep or in the act of reconstruction of the structure and functioning before fission where there will be no awareness of change.

If the self is not maintained in the new bodies, then what is it that is lost and is it regained when the reverse process of recombining the body halves to their original state is achieved? What is lost in the fission process is the loss of structure and functioning that produces a live conscious person. Restoration by fission
