DF and I had a long conversation about this last night.
At first thought, I instantly agreed that moving my brain to a cloned body would be okay. Since my brain is me, it's all that matters. The body/organs/anything else is irrelevant.
But what if it's copied to 5 bodies? Are you all 5? Obviously not. Each one is its own person that has its own thoughts. It's not like you'd all know what one another were thinking or anything.
Think about it in these terms: What if your brain were copied to a clone while you were alive...and then you met the clone. And then what if that clone said, "Hi, I'm here so please go ahead and kill yourself...I'll take care of things going forward"? Would you be okay with that?
Thinking about that makes me feel weird.
