You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?

To fully understand my question, you need to understand the safety concerns regarding teleporters as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI

I wouldn’t, because the person that reappears aint me, its a fucking clone. Teleporters are murder machines. Star Trek is a silent massacre!

    Just because they can un-burn you at the end doesn’t mean your body isn’t destroyed when you leave. Even if the atoms were just re-arranged and not converted to energy, you’re still getting pureed and then reconstituted. Hard to argue you’re not dead when your brain has been completely disassembled.
