It’s a pity that they didn’t develop such an interesting idea about clones in any interesting way
In fact, this is the path to immortality. In the future, if they come up with this, then it will be possible to load your memory into a clone of yourself. The only problem is that the original remains alive. To solve this, the original must be killed as soon as he sent his memory. Thus, he will fall asleep and wake up in a new body.
In the film, the clone received all the memory right up to the moment the original sat in the chair and sent it to him. Therefore, original can calmly be killed and he will basically just jump over. And the clone would have no sense of guilt towards the original for taking his life. And the original would not have suffered the last weeks of its life.
