The you from yesterday might have suffered the same fate, and you might be going to as well, in a moment. Who says there is now the type of personal continuity we desire , without uploading or duplicating. Is it a testable notion whether this continuity of the self as you desire it even exists?

Good point. I don't see the difference between a person losing and regaining consciousness and the person undergoing the Star Trek version of teleportation.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
