How about the probability of some accident killing you (however small) multiplied for the millions or billions of years you're alive?

[loup-vaillant → mattstreet]

Negligible, once you care to make backups of yourself. Continuous backups, ideally. In time, it will probably possible to blow up half a Jupiter Brain without killing anyone.

But there is not continuous "consciousness", so what is the difference between that and a clone of you with your memories?

Why not have thousands of them? What are you?
