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!

    Yup.

    Not only would I use it, I would abuse it.

    I’d duplicate myself more than once, and at least once so I could fuck myself.

    I’d tweak the transporter to adjust my body as I went through it. Best weight-loss, gym routine, plastic surgery, dick-enhancement pill ever, all in one.

    I would be the reason such devices would be strictly regulated by people with ethics. “Is it murder if you kill your clone?” “Who cares, energize and last one stabbed wins!”

      How would you deal with yourself after you fuck yourself?!

      Do you want a really creepy twin with much less resources than you to walk around the world? Would you wanna kill that person? No one would notice surely.

      Similar matter is dealt with in the book Dark Matter.
