That only applies if the simulation is implemented using actual quantum mechanics to give the appearance of quantum mechanics, AND our brains are implemented using this actual quantum mechanics. Even in that case, if the simulation can be suspended and the brains measured with a noise floor well below thermal noise, then the copies can be good enough that no experiment from inside the simulation could ever detect the copy event occurring, and arbitrarily many copies can be made without further degradation.

Unless of course We created the simulation. And you (among others) have voluntarily forgotten the fact, in order to better appreciate the full immersion experience.

As the case may be, taking into consideration that it would be consistent with in-between-life hypnoregression. http://newtoninstitute.org/

No, not unless. Someone is running the simulation, someone has control. These someones are Gods regardless of their origin. You don't mean that a civilization put a dream-maker on full autopilot and then jumped in, do you?
