Death by Rebirth

A persons exsitances is marked by ones memorious, and by the fact others remember them. But what if you are reborn with a new face and only a vague understanding of old memorious. Is the person you were dead to be replaced by you now. This question of self was asked by Ender in the novel Children of the mind. Ender who was reborn in the body of his brother is confused about what life to live. Should he go back to his wife and childern as a new man. Or should he live out the life of his brother who has been dead for three thousand years. Or start a new life with his new love Si Wang-mu which of course he does. In a sence this new man no matter what you call him Ender or Peter, is the accumulation of three deaths. The First being Ender. The man that was known as the destoryer and savior of worlds, and lived for three thousand years. The second and third being Peter and Valentine the siblings brought out of the void of Enders mind. The accumulation of these deaths sparks the birth of a new man.
