There's no “actual” you. Your body creates a sense of an “I”. If you copy that body including the brain, the copy will have the same. You wouldn't say that the copy’s sense of smell is somehow different, so why make a distinction for the sense of self?

    Because I don't really care about what the copy can do and think, because I'll be dead. My self disappears, even if someone else has a copy of it.
