The big hurdle for me about copies isn't so much philosophical as it is logistical

I've thought it would be interesting to meet copies of myself. They probably wouldn't be that terrible. we would share a lot of interests

We just have no frame of reference to handle it as a society- it's never come up.

Are we both still considered citizens of the US? Do we share a social security number? do our parents have an obligation to relate to us? Are we both married to my wife? How does everyone else feel about it? Are we both allowed to vote? There is so much uncharted territory that would need to be figured out

there are a lot of things from philosophy that we ignore for the sake of moving things along. For example, free will might not be real, but in order for society to function we have to treat it as if it 100% does exist

I think society might ban this practice for the sake of stability, regardless of what you think about the deeper end of the subject

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
