Cryonics does not necessarily imply uploading. It is possible that using atomically precise medical technology we could revive and rebuild the brain and body in-situ, thereby retaining continuity.
I meant a physical copy.
Would it make a difference, to you, if they rebuilt you in-situ, rather than adjacent?
But I just noticed this set of sentences, so I was incorrect to assume common ideas about identity:
In particular, I find questions about personal identity and consciousness of uploads made from preserved brains confusing,
I know. I was pointing out that your thought experiment might not actually apply to the topic of cryonics.
