The fact that everyone treats Golem-Picard as True-Picard felt to me like confirmation that, in the ST universe, what makes you you is your mind. Memories, thought patterns, etc... I know it was tv-show hand wavery but the fact that no one mourned the death of their friend, or really ever once questioned the validity of the golem taking his place bothered me a little.

    Also, M'Benga's daughter is still the same person, despite being an energy being now, without a physical body.

    If my consciousness is continuing, especially into a physical form that looks exactly like myself, what practical difference does it make?
