There’s an interesting book that goes into these issues…
Kiln People is a 2002 science fiction novel by American writer David Brin
The novel takes place in a future in which people can create clay duplicates (called “dittos” or golems) of themselves. A ditto retains all of the archetype’s memories up until the time of duplication. The duplicate lasts only about a day, and the original person (referred to in the book as an archie, from “archetype”, or “rig”, from “original”) can then choose whether or not to upload the ditto’s memories. Most dittos want to inload, so that their experience will be continuous with that of their archie.

My wife and I joke about how we could really use a “grey” some days.
Damn that sounds like a fun read.
