How would you know?
How do you know you're not a copy of yesterday's you? If a clone has your memories and you're not around anymore, then what's the difference?
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.
Don't try to get philosophical about this. There is a hard difference between copying a brain and actually transferring consciousness.
Er? It's a philosophical conversation since, you know, brain uploading is not a thing.
If you don't want to engage in philosophy, you're in the wrong place.
You're mixing up speculative and philosophical.
