This researcher wants to replace your brain, little by little. The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates. (www.technologyreview.com)

You'd have to experience death for the clone to continue being the only copy.

Yeah. In the example above the original is dead, and a clone with all of your memories up until the point of death is generated.

In that case, there is continuity of concussions, at least as far as anyone can tell, least of all the clone.
