Exactly that. Qualia is a redundant term. A perfect upload feels the same thing a meat person does.
The original issue is spawning and terminating clones, in whichever form. I suppose I have no problem with painlessly terminating clones completing their tasks, as long as they have no advanced knowledge or anguish about it.

No more than any other regular noun like ‘bicycle’ is a redundant term. They’re inseparable from their implementations too.
