Ok lets change the hypothetical situation slightly. If you were to be destroyed and one Planck time later recreated in exactly the same spot with exactly the same electrical signals and chemical balances would it still be you? I cannot see how it can possibly not still be you unless there is something about a human that cannot be explained by the matter and energy we consist of - unless we have some form of soul.
Given that I don't believe in a soul I do not believe that there is any difference between the 'old' me and the 'new' me and as such it would seem to me a continuation of my life as normal.
Now what is the difference between that and me being recreated somewhere else?
