Anyways teleportation will be really scary to some people until they do it for the first time and then they'll have memories of walking into a teleporter then walking out of a teleporter and then they won't be so scared. Or we'll upload our brains to the internet first, who knows.

Here's another one A doctor man officially tells you that your sister underwent the teleportation process. you know in your heart of hearts now, that this isnt your sister at all, but a gross amalgamation of atoms that superficially resembles her, and you murder her to rid the world of the abomination. But here's the twist, the doctor man was actually the secret antagonist, and wanted you to murder your sister, and actually, YOU were the clone. How about that.

What if you teleported yourself faster than light across worlds, and then teleported back, and somehow ended back up in time, only you haven't done this yet and future you is the one telling you to step in the suicide teleportation box and that you need to teleport or this universal construct will collapse upon itself. Would you go in the box?

Let's say a teleporter automatically activated at a certain atmospheric altitude. If you were to place the teleporter on an aeroplane, and the aeroplane was placed on a treadmill that had a reverse velocity to the velocity of the aeroplane, and you were in the teleporter during takeoff, would you be able to achieve total obliteration of the self?

Piell posted:So let's say I kidnap you, clone you with all your memories, and let the clone live your life. Meanwhile, I torture the original for a hundred years, then shoot it in the head, killing it.. I am hoping you would not agree with this. What if I only torture you for 50 years? For 10? For 1? For one hour? For a single second? What if I just walk into your house, shoot the original you in the face, drag away the original's cooling corpse, and let your clone live your life? I can say, definitively, I'd be morally okay with 10 seconds of clone torture of myself

Your brain is replaced with someone else's brain, and their brain is replaced with yours. As the average brain weighs 3 lbs, your brain and his brain would be replacing 99% and 98% of body mass, respectively, or it could be viewed as your old body having a replacement brain. In this scenario, would you rather your movie role be played by John Travolta or Nicholas Cage?
