I'm really curious if you copy your consciousness, but your original body/mind dies then I guess "you" are dead, or your current experienced consciousness is gone. The copy is just that, a copy. It is you in a way, but you prime's experience of reality is ceased.
So in a way you are living forever, but its not really you, its your copy. But that's kind of what kids are anyway. A partial genetic copy of you, that live on after "you" die, where as in this case, its a full copy of you living on after "you" die.
