      No it's not. They walk in voluntarily and are reconstructed on the other end with their memories and conciousness preserved. Coming out with a cloned body that's the exact same and your mind unchanged means, yes it doesn't matter if some concept of the original technically dies.

      Comparing it to not caring about a homeless person dying is not only absurd but frankly fucking offensive to me. But I guess I'm a sociopath anyway.

          It's not suicidal because you are reconstructed as a living thing. I have maybe .1% percent of the same cells that i did at birth. Does that make me a different person? What if I needed a transplant and that .1% was no longer there? Does that mean my infant self is dead and I'm a different person? Draw the line.

          Also please tell me the things we know about conciousness that contradict it. You will be a highly regarded philosopher if you can manage.
