So they scan and copy my personality, memories, experiences, etc. basically my whole ego, but where does my consciousness go?

A lot of you may be interested in a game called SOMA, it faces a lot of these problems, if you dont play it. Watch a walk through, its an enlightening experience.

What carries on is a copy of what you were, not you. You die right then and there.
Also, realistically, the human version of you would die. That includes consciousness.

One version of you dies and the other continues like nothing happened.Your body dies, no version of "you" would even comprehend the death. To you, it would just be a transfer. The "dead version" of you wouldnt even be able to process anything, so you wouldn't have any personal, conscious attachment to it.You'd have no way of knowing of the old you felt anything in the process, you mean.

On any case I'm not afraid of death so it wouldn't concern me too much from a personal standpoint that I'd live on in a different and better way. Anything to liberate me from my shitty spine and skin problems. Also I'm guessing I'd have some influence over what I'd look like so that would be neat too, and I wouldn't have to stab myself with a needle all the time either.
Of course I'd make the switch. I have too much to do for this one life.
If robot bodies were invented, would you get one?
