If we can upload our mind into a new cloned bodies when we die, then we will have achive inmortality, this is the greater achivement of the human cloning process in my view, but there will be to many moral and religious question on this, even if the technical process can be perfect.

if you can live forever does it devalue the meaning of life? this is the question that will be hard to answer. or a even more interesting one is if you clone yourself and there is two you, are the two the same person, what happen to your property right, do you guys now have share ownership of everything you have?

If it’s possible to clone your body, maybe a younger stronger version of your current body, and give it life...wouldn't that body's mind come in a blank state? I mean that the second version of you might have consciousness/life but it wouldn't have collected any data or experiences or have the same memories as you right now.

If downloading/saving and uploading your current mind into a new body is possible, I think I’d have a more personal/identity questions to ponder.

For example, a frail old man is going to die sooner than later, so he cloned his body and uploaded a copy of his mind into this younger version of his body. Technically it’s like immortality because his consciousness will live on, but his original consciousness is still in this old body...I doubt he’ll feel ok terminating himself tho.

Unless it’s a sudden, accidental death. Imagine waking up on the operation table and the doc said “Welcome back buddy, you were hit by a bus yesterday and died, we couldn’t save you. But lucky for you, we have a copy of your consciousness and uploaded it onto this clone of you. The last time you came in to back-up your mind to our database was a month ago, so you didn’t miss much.”
