When you go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning how do you know that you are still you? Sounds like a silly question but if somebody copied you perfectly and took the original away you would still wake up in your bed. The fact there there is now another you doesn't change that. The fact that you are the copy doesn't change that either. As both of you experience more then you become more and more separated in the same way that you today are separated from the you of a few years ago. So if I can get me consciousness copied to a machine which is functionally equivalent (or superior) then I get to survive in the machine even if I also get to die in this meatbag, better than the just dying option.
