My experiences, memory, 'algorithms' and future are safe in the
original copy of me. I'm not going to lose anything expect some
material. I'm safe in the original copy. I'm going to just gain
experience of dying. Losing one material form doesn't matter. I'm kind
of independent of certain material expression. Etc...
I however would not go to hell or torment despite original being safe.
I wouldn't want to experience it.
It would be different if I have lived for year after copying. Then I
would differ from original by year worth of experience.
