The simplest way to "fix" that is killing the original one as a required and atomic part of the process. Make it so that there is no moment in time when both are awake and concious

But that is still asking people to get into the death box so that a clone of them can live on. Personally, I wouldn't accept certain death so a copy of me could live.

I imagine going to sleep and waking up in another body. I recommend the TV serie Altered Carbon.

only the clone has that experience. Your experience is walking into the cloning chamber and dying. You never get the benefit.

The clone is you though, assuming it's a perfect copy

Well you could grow a clone body and then use a brain transplant.

This is still within the science fiction territory, but much more realistic than fixing aging or an actual teleporter.

The brain would still be old, but it would probably benefit quite a lot from the new body's youthness.
