If that is what "you" means then that's ridiculous squared! The "you" here In Helsinki now on Wednesday July 26 2017 at 17:20:05 Coordinated Universal Time will not exist tomorrow because tomorrow nobody who answers by the name Bruno Marchal will be in Helsinki , and even more important because Wednesday July 26 2017 17:20:05 Coordinated Universal Time will never come around again. If that's really what "you" means then "you" die every nanosecond with or without a people duplicating machine. But if "you" means somebody who remembers being Bruno Marchal on Wednesday July 26 2017 at 17:20:05 Coordinated Universal Time, and I can't imagine what else it could mean, then "you" will be alive tomorrow, and if duplicating machines are involved "you" could be alive in several different places at exactly the same time.
