....if another one of your father's sperm cells had reached the egg first (rather than the one which resulted in you)....would you still be you? You wouldn't be your sibling, because the part of your genetic makeup which came from your mom (the egg) would be the same, but if one of the *other* millions of sperm reached the egg first, then what? Would you still be you, just look different?

Nope...a different person.
The only way I am me is because that one "lucky winner" from my dad combined with the genetic makeup from my mom in her egg...any other combination would be completely different.

Since I define "me" as being the sum of my genetic traits and the effects my envirnoment and experience have had on my personality I would not be the same "me."

No, because the genetic material that makes up my being would be different.

I think that I would be different, and there is a good chance I would not be me.
The miracle and mystery of life.
... what a gift.
