For example, if a person is frozen under water for 45 minutes and then revived, she lost the continuity in brain activity (it totally stopped) and then was restarted later. She died and then was brought back. She's still the same person right?
I thought in frozen instances there was minimal brain activity, but if not I suppose no, the me who is my consciousness died at that point.
Anyways, I thought it was just a disintigration / reconstruction technology, it doesn't explain it too much during star trek.
