I think there are significant ethical situations.
Is it ethical to forcefully merge with one's own copy? To create unconscious copy and use it as slave/whatever? To forcefully create someone's copies? To discard one's own copy?
Why would conscious agent be less significant if it can split/merge at will? Of course, voting will be meaningless, but is it reasonable do drop all ethics?
More importantly, does it count as gay or masturbation if you have sex with your copy?
