Right! I think I get it.
But if your mother is different from her clone, are we different people from second to second? Are we the same person we were 10 years ago, even though almost all of the atoms in our bodies have been replaced by other atoms? (And does it even matter?)
I don’t know. But I like thinking about it.
I’m leaning towards some variation of “it doesn’t even matter”.

Atoms change, but the genotype remains the same in the nucleus of every cell but for sex cells.
But your genotype can be cloned (and your fenotype). You are not your genotype. If you were, you could be two people at once!
Touche’! Hmm. But my mom still wanted to transfer her mind’s experience into a clone and live eternally.

The natural purpose of life is to pass your genes to your children and keep the human race alive just like any other living being on Earth.
Going to school, working, etc is an artificial purpose created by societies throgout the years

So, if you can’t have children,what is the natural purpose then?
I think the purpose of life is
A) To exist and
B) To make your own meaning, be it through a passion, your career, your relationship, children. Whatever gives you the reason to continue part A.

What if you have no loved ones?
Then give back to your community I guess.

The purpose of life is to make the best of the hand you’re dealt, find your purpose and achieve greatness. It’s a test. If you pass the test you move on to the next level. If you don’t pass the test you come back with a different hand and get to try it all over again.

life is mere experience… we are here to love, be love, give love, receive love… everything in between is just the lesson to get you there. mastery of ones mind is difficult but not impossible, for anyone… and if you don’t gain control over yourself, your emotions , your life, your thoughts, it will control YOU. i’ve done a lot of soul searching this past year and have learned so much, and grown even more from the person i was. but it takes SO much dedication and effort, with great sincerity to truly manifest a life you are happy to be living… so much has changed very drastically for me; and it’s because i have been actively working every single day to be the best version of myself that i can be. 
you can do it too, your thoughts create your reality. if your mind is in a negative space and you don’t do anything to change it, it will remain there.
lots of love.
