Could A Different Sperm from Dad Hitting Mom's Egg, Still Make "You"?
Possibly with different features like eye color but still the same "self", "consciousness," "soul" or whatever you want to call it. Or did you need that exact sperm/egg combination to ever exist?
Seems like how you and others would answer this question has become relevant nowadays. Would more religious people than atheists answer "yes"? Would more Republicans than Democrats?
Christians usually don't believe in reincarnation, you get one shot at life at that's it in their worldview
I know. It's just that belief in reincarnation is a sufficient (although not necessary) attribute to cause someone to think that certain DNA is not required for youness. I invoked people with that belief because it was a succinct reply to Melkerson.

Expecting most people to see what I was getting at, my follow up post would be about the fact that the people who argue about abortion are both on the opposite sides of what might be expected. Because if God can put a particular "soul" inside of any fetus, it's no big deal if one is discarded before it ev
