death = permanently not conscious; if you create a clone or a simulation that is not a direct upload, it doesn't count as 'still living'

I understand that it's part of the framing of the question, but I still think that a lot of people would take issue with this part.

Is it because a lot of people think that continuing to live as a clone or a simulation is just as good as continuing to live as the original? If so, then I don't mind rephrasing what I mean by death. The important point is that I don't mean the death of the body, but rather the death of the mind.
