This seems naive. If you have a brain and you make a digital copy of it...you now have two copies (assuming you can even make a perfect digital copy, which seems doubtful). What does that mean for continuous experience? Who are you at that point? WHICH one are you? Then you kill the first one...effectively murder. Philosophers have never been credited with their practical abilities...only theoretical.
