Whilst I wouldn't want to live forever, living a few lifetimes in a fit body with no worries of illness or disease would be appealing. The downside being no food or alcohol plus out living loved ones who don't want a synth body.

I would! I don't drink alcohol and taste receptors would eventually be created, so you'll likely get to experience food again at some point. It's a good deal.

Slight problem with that. What does that mean, exactly? Unless there's a way to transfer your SOUL to the synth, for all we know it would just result in a synth that looks thinks and even feels EXACTLY as you would, without deviation...minus actually being you. And you wouldn't know the difference. The synth would think its you, wake up and say "wow it worked!" but the real you would actually be dead.
I remember this was the exact dilemma in The Prestige.
