lol. There's a lot of characters who've been brought back by getting new bodies.
Cap America, Iron Man, Human Torch, Thor, Jean Grey.
This is a problem now?
Mad Lads.

"Cable was right!"
Very interesting points of view. If the body that was offered at a younger age was of my own dna and genetic material that I consider that exact, unique code to be my own. As owning it in a way because it’s impossible for anyone else, living or dead, to have had that exact code. So yes if someone used my genetic material to make me a host body that didnt have the same scars, damage, wear and tear and general use that my current one has? Well this might sound strange to some but I didn’t know why I wouldn’t take that deal. My body is just replicated cells that follow my genetic code. A body with the same genetic code no matter how new, would still in effect be “my” body. So yes I would I think.
The mind is where is gets tricky I guess. And that’s where you just have to go on the word of what they tell you in the story (so far). What we’ve been told is that Xavier has found a way to make an exact copy of your mind, your personality, and the sum of your experiences. I wouldn’t accept that in any altered way/form but if we are to believe him when he says that then yes. I do believe that with a genetically coded body and a perfectly replicated mind, it would in essence be me, exactly. If a person is not a personalized physical form with the sum total of data and experiences gained in their life than what makes a person? What would you say is missing?
Right. As I said, moving on.
This is exactly how I feel too. I think we were all but led by the horns to believe that these are what they say they are. Exact replicas of the characters they choose to revive. Now the morality of that is neither here nor there and entirely subjective. But I do think they are the genuine artifact.
It could be that way, but I think the more important reason for the scene is that it is meant to convince the mutants that it is true. So that if they should die, or a friend or loved on dies, that they will come back. That when they suddenly start churning out hundreds of mutants a day, that it will not be traumatic.
The way the info page explains it, especially with the mentions of morality and the risk of duplication, gave me the impression that these are not genuine at all. Memory backups stored in data centers, not quite capturing the soul in my opinion.
IMO they do have souls, just not the same as those who died destroying Mother Mold had.
Lol blunt but relatable to my own assumption. Without my consciousness I am only a husk/body/lump of organized genetic material. Without my body my consciousness has nowhere to be stored. But together they are the sum parts of me. So if those can be identically replicated, then what is the difference?
Say this new Scott sold his sold to Mephisto. Say another from a different timeline did not. Would you say both Scott Summers souls are property of Mephisto?
Well my view of soul is based on Catholicism, not that I am holding Marvel to that view although there are enough stories depicting souls going to various afterlives, but to me the creepy thing is that whatever soul or mind these husks are born with, they are simply being programmed, or overwritten, with the brain pattern from a computer database.
