Would you transfer your consciousness to a robot for immortality? (kbin.social)

I wouldn't. Immortality sounds miserable to me.

This. That's one of the dilemmas with making clones of people. It's already hard to pinpoint that exact integrity of a human (cells are constantly changing) and replacing them altogether just doesn't make sense anymore. Pragmatically speaking, it won't benefit you at the slightest, but, provided your clone is the exact copy, your friends might not see the difference. Even still, would they still be your friends whilst knowing the "true" you is gone?
