Hi,
In the articles below it describes situations of personal identity and fissions. For more detail read the link below.
“Suppose David splits in two, like an amoeba, and the resulting halves of him grow into two autonomous persons. Call these two resulting people Lefty and Righty. They share David's looks and personality, and they seem to remember events from David's past life. We can call this process fission. What shall we say is the relation between David, Lefty, and Righty”

Which person is the original? How is it possible for both to be the original and become 2 different people? I thought that transitive identity does not allow for both to be the original.
Another example is a person who undergoes a Corpus Callosotomy and has half the brain in one body and another half in another body. Which one is the original and how can both be the original?
What would happen if someone took a brain performed a Corpus Callosotomy and then after an hour combined them. Is the original person before fission (splitting brain) and after fusion (combining both halves) the same person?
Thanks
