the copy is not you. If it didn't vaporise the original then there wouldn't be two yous. there would be one you with continuity of experience and one copy. This isn't a ship of theseus argument as I can lose an arm and still be me I am not arguing that my cells contain my personage but that my personage also isn't contained in their exact formulation
As for the dungeon vs vaporisation argument it seems to not understand dying as a potential consequence of a situation as being vaporised is just a fancy word here for killed, the version of you which walked in to the room would be killed and that would be the end of them
continuity of experience is not the relevant factor here clearly there is some animating factor of a person that is unreproducible or we would be able to construct a person/bring a corpse to life. This factor would be snuffed out in the person who walks in the room and I personally think it would be impossible to create a living copy out of cells. A human being is not fungible for another human in the way 7 is for 7
creating a copy does not affect the original just as destroying the original does not destroy the copy this implies that they are separate beings and therefore there is no continuity of conciousness despite continuity of perceived experience.
a person existing with an exact copy made of them would not continue to have that persons experiences from then on which indicates they are different.
when you destroy a physical body the person in it dies as they need that body to sustain their life
If I crush a pen and simultaneously make a new pen I have not moved the pen
