because if you and the clone are one and the same (no cloning happened, you were tortured and then memory-wiped), “both” of you reap the rewards.
We are not the same person after the point of the decision. There’s no continuity of experience. The tortured me experiences none of the utility, and the enriched me experiences none of the torture. That was why I thought of the cloning interpretation to begin with.
