Only if souls aren't real, which as established are real in Star Trek. I can't answer for Stargate though as I am not quite that deep into the series lore.

Stargate has groups of people who ascend to a higher plane to live an existence as a form of pure energy where they have access to godlike powers, so I think that's one for the souls are real category. Also they've got machines that just straight-up brings dead bodies back to life.

idk if its still there but supposedly during the series' original run there was a utility closet at the real cheyenne mountain complex labeled "stargate command"

at first this seems shocking but then you realize that every piece of technology in star trek has been optimized to murder as many crewmen as possible

Transporter nerds existed in Roman times and are responsible for the Nicean Creed. I say this as someone whose only deep knowledge of Christianity comes from this forum.

I'm watching some old trek episodes I've never really watched much before. and the whole measure of a man episode really should have addressed this issue imo

The replicator kills you and makes a copy that thinks it just ate

Transporters can be used for de-aging but for some reason they only ever did it the one time.

Transporters are demonstrated to be capable of: 1. Remove weapons mid-transport 2. Remove viruses 3. Age or de-age somebody 4. Beam poop from my bowels directly into the captain's lunch 5. Clone somebody 6. Access alternate dimensions 7. Make and store a backup copy And the crew's just using 'em to gently caress around going to planets and stuff. Sad.

In my gritty TNG reboot, the bridge crew just gets transporter-cloned for every away mission. Then they get vaporized on the off-chance that they survived the mission. And the actual bridge-crew just plays out holodeck gently caress fantasies like 24/7. Also the Lexx shows up at some point.

The most inventive transporter thing was that one DS9 episode where the killer had a gun that transported bullets mid-flight.

With transporter technology it would seem like murder is 100% impossible to stop or trace. Unless everyone on Earth is walking around with a personal shield on.
