"Dr. Lewis, have you ever considered the being of a duplicate?"
"Not until recently," smiled the doctor.
"You are a competent psychiatrist. Can you tell us the responsibility-quotient of a man kept in a state of suspended animation until he was thirty-three years old?"
"He would have little or no sense of responsibility at all."
"Would you say then that a duplicate of any human being was responsible for the acts of the original?"
"I would hate to ponder the question," replied the psychiatrist. "It would depend entirely upon the degree of duplication. Yet it seems to run against the grain to make a duplicate responsible for the acts of the original when up to this time the duplicate had no true identity."
"You assume the duplicate would have an identity?"
"If the duplicate is capable of original thought, he has."
"Yet, Dr. Lewis, what comprises identity?"
