There is a Paul Rudd TV series called "Living with yourself" which addresses this.
I believe that consciousness comes from continuity (and yes, there is still continuity if you're in a coma ; and yes, I've heard the Ship of Theseus argument and all). The other guy isn't you.
It's definitely been discussed for a while. Recent takes on it include a really interesting Outer Limits episode and the recent Netflix show Living with Yourself.
This is easy to say if you're not the one dying. If you know a perfect clone of your current self is going to live from this point forward, are you still comfortable with being killed?
