If you have many different (and conflicting, in that they demand undivided attention) interests: if it was possible, would copying yourself in order to pursue them more efficiently satisfy you?
One copy gets to learn drawing, another one immerses itself in mathematics & physics, etc. In time, they can grow very different.
(Is this scenario much different to you than simply having children?)
Sounds wonderful. Divide and conquer.
As this sounds like a computer assisted scenario, I would like the ability to append memories while sleeping. Wake up and have access to the memories of the copy. This would not necessarily include full proficiency as I suspect that muscle memory may not get copied.
