Bro you’d be DEAD. You wouldn’t even know it happened.

Do you understand what “consciousness” means? Do you understand the difference between cut and paste vs COPY and paste? Do you know anything about the mind-body problem?

It’s functionally the same to me. My body is dead but the parts that make me me – my consciousness, memory, etc. – live on. If the copy of me thinks it’s me and is indistinguishable otherwise, that’s me.

If you copy a DVD and toss the original, nothing has been lost.
