3 A cyber-replica is not you. If one were made and stood next to you, you would still not consent to be shot.
4 Ditto a meat replica
5 If you believe the many worlds model of quantum physics is true (Eliezer does), then there already are a vitually infinite number of replicas of you already, so why bother making another one?
Point 5 contradicts 3 and 4, which suggests to me that your father is just arguing, or possibly that he isn’t enthusiastic about continuing to live, and is looking for excuses.
I wouldn’t say so. The natural way to read it is as proposing two separate reasons not to care about making replicas of oneself, which are relevant under different assumptions.
