I don't care about my duplicate. I only care about whether my current consciousness continues. I don't think so highly of myself that there needs to be duplicates running around. Maybe Elon Musk or Ray Kurzweil feel differently.

Still if you get knocked unconscious or even sleep who's to say if that's the current consciousness or a new copy.

One of Kurzweil's projects is he wants to resurrect his dad because he misses him. Making copies kind of makes more sense if they interact with others rather than a brain in a vat type scenario.
