A cyber-replica is not you. If one were made and stood next to you, you would still not consent to be shot.

Yes I would.

Ditto a meat replica

Ditto I would.

This seems inconsistant with your other answers that you care about increasing your measure / instantiation in the block universe. The idea that you should consent to die because you have a replica is a fake bullet that you don't need to bite, you like having more copies of yourself.
