Not the same to you. As soon as the same tech can be used to clone, it feels fundamentally different.

You die in one place, and a consciousness that thinks it's you starts in another place. Does the order really matter?

Yes. Doing it in a different order means there's a version of me with different experiences. But even if you do it in the same order, that it can be used to clone means there is a me that dies and doesn't come back to life. Whereas if it can't be cloning, then it's just me.
