To Put It Another Way

About resurrection-cloning.

There will be a person whose perspective is they went to sleep/blacked out and then woke up.

How they feel about who they are NOW is mostly determined by how they felt about it BEFORE.

I suspect that the people who feel strongly that the clone isn't, and can't be, them won't avail themselves of the service.

If such a service becomes even somewhat widely available I also suspect that the perspective that the clone cannot be you will be lost.  Dying and waking up in a new body will simply become how things are and there won't be a philosophical divide about it.
