That's assuming it was possible to connect the digital brain, neuron by neuron, to the organic brain and exactly replicate the chemistry at the interface. Far beyond present technology.
But supposing that's solved, consider building the same digital system without destroying any part of the human brain.
Whether you digitize the whole brain in an instant or 3000 neurons/second, the digital copy is obviously a copy if the original still exists.
So how does destroying the original turn a copy into not a copy?
