MODERATORS
It's simple. Say for instance you were 30 years old in 1999. You would just slot into your 30-year-old self and have an opportunity to make new decisions loaded with information about a highly likely future.
However, if you were a baby in 1999, you probably would not want to take your own life over so you would choose the new body option, and lead a completely new life separate from your old one.
But how is there not a 24 year difference and 2 of you? Makes 0 sense
Have you ever seen the TV show quantum leap?
That's what I'm talking about. Your personality, the wave state of your brain that makes you "you" would take over your former selfs body.
Once again though, if that doesn't work for you, you could just have a new body.
If going back to 1999 would put you into you infant or toddler's self, then the appropriate choice would be to get a new body.
Ah so you basically reset your life. No thanks
