There’s still the basic existential question: is it you? Just because a being THINKS it’s you, has your memories, doesn’t mean it IS you. If you’re copying yourself to a machine, that’s just what it is: a copy. I’ll set aside the question of “is it human” and accept, for argument’s sake, that it is. But the copy is a separate being that thinks like you do, while the real you is unconscious in stasis. If both versions: the original you and the machine you, were functioning at the same time, the flesh you would clearly see machine you as a different individual.
