This doesn’t seem particularly useful to me. Even if the written copy could be identical to me in every way, I would place a much lower value on the creation of such a copy than on the extension of my current life. You’re right that this might be slightly preferable to death, but I certainly wouldn’t position it as a real alternative even to cryonics.
What do you mean by “identical to me in every way”? Does that mean that it actually contains all the same information as your brain, or something less exact or complete than that?

I am referring to a copy that contains exactly the same information as the current “me”.
