We are going into a what if terirory here and I don't think there is any good argument to be had there.
So I'm gonna end on this:
A copy is not an original. I am me, nothing more nothing less. There is no consent I can give prior to my existence. Going further into the analogy is pointless, life is not a surgery.
~~Umm, Christianity? Just to name at least one major religion.~~
I misread that so ignore it.
Cannonical Christianity claims this is a copy of an original world with universal salvation and an individualized afterlife?
Ironically there is a heretical Christian sect that thought all those things, but it died out in antiquity. But those concepts are pretty much the opposite of the mainstream Christian theology.
