I highly doubt their is anything limiting consciousness to biological life the materialist would say that consciousness is build from a sufficiently complex combination of dead matter and unless we are to adopt some form of spirit or higher power I don't see how you can argue otherwise.
If its you or just an indistinguishable copy really depends on your interpretation of star trek teleporters. Functionally I don't see the distinction as important. Quacks like a duck etc etc is a duck for all functional purposes.
I agree with you tho in this distinction but cannot find a rational argument to justify it. I fear death yet fear that the very mechanism to cheat death is death itself.
