It might preserve identity from the perspective of the created copy, but the original still dies a death of disintegration the way I see it. And since it&#x27;s their own subjective experience they want to preserve, and not just that experience being had by <i>someone</i>, I&#x27;d say their own having of that experience ends, and that&#x27;s that. It&#x27;s not that they die painlessly and wake up again, they die painlessly and something else wakes up, which they themselves will not be aware of, being dead and all that.
