Wait a second, is the "copy" the same person, or a whole new person being created?

I'm not sure there's an objective answer to that, so I suggest consulting with your local philosopher.
Any programmer will tell you the copy is just a second instance of the first person's type. It exists separately in spacetime (analogous to memory space). :)
