I wonder about this.
Although it is true that your present self will expire despite a copy of you being made (cloning, teleportation etc.) - the experience of that copy will be that you have continued beyond that expiration.
So, does it ultimately matter if your present 'you' has ceased to exist - if your copy believes otherwise. After all, your current body is a different one to the one you had a decade ago - even though it seems the same.
If the illusion is good enough, the reality may not matter.
