It would have to be a brain to clone replacement body scenario to work. If the actual brain moves to a new cloned version of yourself, then you are down to how to reduce brain aging issues. You solve that, and outside of accidents, immortal future humans. But likely the first clone would then last hundreds of years, because they would be able to remove most known diseases and conditions when they produced the clones. If a generation were to have their memories transferred to a new clone brain, they could fix the aging issue with brains the same way they would fix the prior clone replacement bodies, but in order to fix that defect, the actual human original brain would die in the process. Meaning en mass one entire population of clone transfers would in reality die, so that all future humanity would never die..
