We invent tech where we clone you but with minimal brain required to keep the body alive - so that it's barely or not at all conscious. When the body is big enough, we scoop your brain out of your body and put it in the clone. Assume this procedure is quite safe. Would you do it?

If you can get a robotic body in which you can still experience all human sensations / emotions, and the robotic body can last for much longer than a human body - would you switch?
