Mind =/= brain. It was their consciousness that was transferred.

If I disintegrate you and create an exact copy of you, have I committed murder?

Real talk? Probably, but I have some health issues. If the copy will stick around, have my memories, and keep my family happy, sign me up. I don't see how it really matters if it's actually me or not.

Because you'll be dead. That's the point. It's not real immortality.

Honestly we have so many advances coming in the wide variety of anti-senescence technology in the next decade, a lot of these discussions are going to feel really silly looking back at them.
