Though the simpler solution is that perhaps memory formation is paused over the period then the person 'lost' their memory to sleep.

Losing memories when you're wide awake is like a file system deleting pointers to a file. The file is still there, just inaccessible.

Anyways I feel that the assertion that "Creating and destroying perfectly identical copies of the information that corresponds to a person neither creates nor destroys people" is extremely dangerous thinking that could lead to the premature end of consciousness for some very unfortunate individuals. After all, they're perfectly identical and we have no documented instance of anyone sharing consciousness, so it may be that consciousness are unique and not commutative.

I would argue that two disconnected copies of the information that corresponds to a person does make 2 disjoint persons.

Like running a different seed on procedural generation, entropy will ensure that these two identical persons won't be identical after whatever ticks in the biological clock.

Government suing a company for compliance with government.

I would argue that contributing to society can at minimum mean to be a person of good standing who participates without causing trouble. You could be as useless as a retiree since your 20s and still have contributed to society.

You're just bullying dissent, just shows how unreasonable your positions are.

Do you have any further reading on this topic? This has been such an amazing read.

basically asking for a raise that they aren't obligated to provide.

Well, employees aren't obligated to not resign either.

It's nuclear wastewater, not spent nuclear material. It's more benign than bathwater.
