Reminds me of a short story. A well known female artist is assasinated. Her
memories had been stored and this backup is uploaded into a new body after her
death. Then she gets assasinated again. So again her backup is downloaded into
a new body. She experiences some discontinuity because her backup always lacks
the last episode of her previous life. Finally she gets to meet the very
persistent assasin. Turns out its a male. Somebody had stolen her backup by
mistake and downloaded it into a male body. The copy felt so strong about being
not unique that he had to try and assasinate her time and again so he'd be the
only original.
