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!

    wouldn’t be murder

    Except even in a world where it’s in widespread use, there’s no way to know it isn’t murder.
    The world would keep functioning and no one would be the wiser, but the entire population would be artificial clones whose lifespans last from one transport gate to another.

      In the context of Star Trek it’s been in use for a couple hundred years. Societally they’ve accepted the implications and decided it’s not murder or clones (mostly).
