[Momo's answer is quick and immediate, and while she may not have been thinking about this as much as Jiro had, it's fine because she feels she has enough of a grasp of the situation to speak on it. And also, she really, solidly feels this is the right answer.]
It doesn't matter if we're clones, because at the core we have our memories and formative experiences. Those memories and formative experiences are what shape our psyche, and thus make us who we are. I know there might be a big of a disconnect between 'did my body physically do this' and 'I remember it' but at the root of it, does it really matter if we physically experienced something or not, if it's still a part of who we are?
[Momo holds up a finger.]
That's a rhetorical question, by the way. No. the answer is no. It does not matter. Clone or not, you're Jiro and I'm Momo.
