no
It depends on the implementation. I don't want a copy of me to live forever, I want to live forever dammit.
If you duplicate your entire memory accurately, do you also duplicate your consciousness ?
I'm not well versed in the philosophy behind this by any means, but I would think that if my entire memory was duplicated, the resulting mind would be conscious, but distinct from myself.
I don't know how to describe it, but for it to work out and actually be "me" I think there would need to be a "continuity" between my brain and whatever it is uploaded to.
How would you even know it worked?
Sure, the newly uploaded people would _think_ they were the original, but how would you really know?
Yes
If my brain isn't shredded in the process, it'd be neat to have a backup. However, my personality in digital form would not like being in that form one bit.

You don't need it.
Of course.
>Sure, the newly uploaded people would _think_ they were the original, but how would you really know?
Why would they think that? It'd be instantly obvious something isn't correct.
>willingly undergoing digital schizophrenia induction
I would undergo it if it is into a computer embedded in my body that works in symbiosis with my actual brain
