Your clone is only a copy of you at first, the more it experiences, the more different it becomes. That's going to cause issues eventually. They may even start working against you.
The solution is The Prestige.
The clone only exists long enough to complete a task or fulfill a purpose, but then one of us (and we don't know which) is gonna get dropped through a trap door and drowned when we're done.

Yeah but the person pressing the button isn't cloning themselves, and the meeseeks just wanna help and then die. Your clone is you, and may start getting...ideas if they hang around too long.
I was going to make a joke about how meeseeks want to die so it isn't that bad, but some people may be into that.

If there was no Syncing then I fully agree.
