And you will have even less memory of it if you are not the survivor.
Forget teleportation, if you walk into a torture chamber you will
remember none of the subsequent events after they’ve finished
disemboweling you. Nevertheless I’d prefer not to walk into that
chamber; but that’s just me,
there’s no arguing over matters of taste.
A good thought experiment should examine an idea of illustrate a point;
I can’t see how this torture the original and pamper the copy business
(or the other way around) can do either.
