Interesting but I would argue that's actually still a destructive copy process. "Old Man's War" did a good job of what I'm talking about, it was body to clone body but the principal was similar and at the halfway point the person was experiencing existence in both bodies at once, seeing both bodies from the perspective of each other until the transfer completed and they were in the new body and the old slumped over.

That also reminds me of this scene from Invincible where during the copying process their experiences are sort of "blended" making them see from both bodies at once, only here they both live and are separate afterwards.

Edit: is it obvious how much of a sci-fi geek I am lol
