Reply to comment by n0oo7 in When do you guys think teleportation will be a means of commercial travel? by Practical_Put_3892

This what I have always talked about. What if a teleporter just disintegrates you and creates an exact copy on the other side. The second you would have all the memories you had right up till walking into the teleporter and so would believe it worked perfectly. While the original you would be dead.

But how would a biological copy be recreated, that too, at an instant? Like, even now, it takes a lot of effort to even recreate an exact cell.

Kinda strange to think about… this seems to me to break the fundamentals of religious beliefs. If when I die, I go to heaven or hell…. What about my clone? If I murdered someone and end up going to hell, does my clone face the same judgement?

Good thing those are not real concerns because once we start playing god there’s not much use for ancient gods
