    Is that what makes Kim uncomfortable about himself at the end of "Deadlock"?

    Also, one wonders how such a situation could've played out between Silverblood!Voyager and Voyager, had they joined forces.

    It happens, but marrying a sibling of a dead spouse is yet more psychologically unstable behavior--as its usually the product of the widow/widower attempting to recapture the feeling and/or essence of the deceased, not willing to accept the reality of one passing on, and playing a cracked wish fulfillment fantasy where the sibling's true self is expected to become that of the dead.

    Its a far worse situation in the case of Chapel, who was dealing with a machine--soulless and Korby in name/image only, yet there would be some observers thinking she should have treated the artificial thing as if he was a living being--the same as the real man.

    It's no wonder the view of copies and\or impersonators lead to--

    ...and similar statements.
