The problem is that you could possibly lose out on the clone / upload metaphor. Would you know you're a clone? Also, there's more to memory than what's located in the brain. There is information stored in nerves, etc.

IIRC, jellyfish have a functional immortality. Maybe some technology could parlay off of that? You'd avoid the memory issue, because you're not dumping the original body. In that same note, there's also a function of your own body's telomeres, if you could cause them to not lose information when copied, and keep replenishing them so you don't run out, there would probably be something there, too.
