This whole topic is very interesting, but I find it hard to discuss without knowing what the others believe in some of the basic principles, so this is a question to the group as a whole: In what consists your theory of personal identity? What something needs to have to be called 'you'? Best wishes,
Filipe
"Adtollite portas principes vestras
Et elevamini portae aeternali
Et introibit rex gloriae.
Quis est iste rex gloriae?"
(Psalm 23(24):7–8a)

Assunto: [sl4] A teleporter
The more I think about it the more I like the idea of a teleporter as
described in the January 23 2009 issue of Science. You walk into the
chamber and your body disintegrates into generic atoms of hydrogen
oxygen carbon nitrogen and a few trace elements that could be collected
in tanks for later use by other commuters. Such a closed cycle would be
very ecological. Meanwhile the quantum state of every atom in your body
is communicated over fiber optic lines to generic atoms in the holding
tanks at your destination; and then wham bam thank you mam you walk out
of the public teleporting chamber at your destination feeling fine
without a hair out of place.
