They make a teleportation device. With a catch...

[NZA]

Technically it doesn't kill them it converts them to energy then back to matter.

when you rip your organs apart, that is fatal

Nah not in this case because it's fantasy.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

That soma video game already answered something similar like this, the copy would be absolutely mind fukked if it found out

you don't actually transfer the conscience/spirit of the person, you're just making a copy of their memories and synapses

Did you just watch The Prestige, breh?

 

[Turbulent]

no more waiting in queues he says

Exactly, wouldn't you be waiting in queue to use the device?

 

[jeh]

Who is they?

And teleportation already exists, heard of a show called Star Trek​

That shyt makes zero sense. You basically die. Who gives a fukk if you have an indentical clone still living.

This ain’t a fukking movie

Once you lose consciousness, it’s gone forever.

But once again, what is a person?

The cells that turnover and replenish like the ship paradox says? In that case whats original? Not the flesh, thats for certain. The concept?

What are you if not a story in your head, some biomarkers and sentient flesh? A series of snapshots strung together as a coherent narrative that answers to a certain name when said.

I think the reason people so confused/against this is because you didn’t specify their same consciousness would transfer over

Also, what exactly would be the benefits? Sounds like you teleport to somewhere else while being the same exact person (assuming your consciousness does transfer over).

So is this just a faster means of travel and that’s it? I don’t see someone being willing to “die” and take a chance on something wild happening in case of malfunction just to avoid airports

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

If you try and clone me, you’re gonna get an error. I can transcend time in the flesh. Just get in tune and hit the astral. That’s if you not scared. You should be scared of the man made way though. It’s not natural.

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

If it’s an exact clone meaning same personality, memories, etc… then yeah as long as I don’t have to observe the clone I’d be straight, either way it’s me. I’ll just hand the keys to my future self

 

[Mowgli]

Why would I use the tech knowing I'm going to die. Talk about diminishing returns

This is like clowns who think they're going to copy their brain waves and be transferred to a robot body without their brain.

You are dead therefore tech is Trash!

This is great technology for people who want to kill themselves but dont want individuals in their lives to mourn them.

But wouldn’t your clones be afflicted with the same suicidal tendencies?
