If I'm saying yes to a procedure for saving my life, then I'd want to know whether that was going to happen or not and what would account for the probabilities.

If RF was the mechanism, that would be part of the duplication process, and would be understood as the reason why a consciousness could/would span multiple bodies, assuming comp. Without an explanation of how information would get from one brain to another (assuming comp) we should expect that *not* to happen.
