rip in peace rip in pieces, more like xD
For a totally non-metaphysic interpretation, I'd say consider the clones as seen in Eve Online. When you respawn, it's technically not you, but still you. A clone with your fresh memories uploaded into its brain, even if some may be lost in process. And technically, your other body can still be alive too.
Human brains are generally very good at constructing models of people, especially tulpamancers' brains, so you may well be able to transfer enough information for the clone to be nearly as good as the original, though memory may be iffy as many who tried report.
