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?

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

    Well, the doppelganger at least will have no idea after so it will be the same for it. You having ideas will no longer be a thing, because you will no longer exist.

    moving the meat from one place to another

    If it literally involves moving the exact same meat from one place to another with all the exact same molecules, that’s different.

    But it seems more likely it involves reconstituting/copying someone.
