@tillianisafox This is the same argument often made against transporters of Star Trek fame and similar technology. My contention is: if what comes out the other end of the transporter talks like me, walks like me, and cares about the same people and things I care about, does it really matter if it’s not the “real” me?

Now, I’d be worried if bit-flips or storage media degradation made it forget people or things I care about, so I’d invest in good quality media and multiple offsite backups.
