The copy wouldn't feel any different, but I'd be dead. The process as described in OP (and most fiction) is inherently destructive, IMO.

No you wouldn't be any deader than you will be a fraction of a second from now. You only live in the moment. In the next you are replaced by someone who is almost, but not exactly you. Continuous consciousness is an illusion, or a concept. There's no magic piece that makes you you.

It's a trick of perspective.

Ok, thanks for your input!
