What's the deal with killing your clones? He'd be the best buddy and boy the cooperation. Not sure what would I tell the authorities though.

Heres an interesting paradox:

In the future, we can teleport places simply by stepping into a machine, that constructs a completely identical copy of us out of energy; our physical and mental states are indistinguishable. The "original" you that steps into the machine gets destroyed, while the reconstruction of you lives on from that point, having the same exact memory as the original you, simply being half way across the globe after clicking the teleport button. Why would you/ would you not agree to such teleportation? With no proof of a soul or conscious, we are all entities.

No. Even disregarding the 'no proof of a soul' argument, the potential accidents are ******* terrifying. Ever not had a head? Because the chances of that happening will have gone way up if this theory hold true at a later point in time, much more so if it becomes the cheapest method of travel.

con·scious
ˈkän(t)SHəs/
adjective
adjective: conscious

aware of and responding to one's surroundings; awake.
synonyms: aware, awake, alert, responsive, sentient, compos mentis
"the patient was conscious"
having knowledge of something; aware.
"we are conscious of the extent of the problem"
synonyms: aware, mindful, sensible;
"he became conscious of people talking"
antonyms: unaware
painfully aware of; sensitive to.
"he was very conscious of his appearance"

Consciousness does exist though. Is this really not scientifically proven, or did you mean something else? Also, I still say that would be a scary thing to do. As far as I'm concerned, I'd still be dying. I'd only be leaving a clone to continue my life for me. It wouldn't be my consciousness moving, it would be a copy of my consciousness created in an identical, but separate, body, which I think would be a separate person apart from me.
As far as I'm concerned, you'd die. Then your clone would eventually use it and produce a second clone, and then die. Further on down the line you'd see hundreds or thousands of your clones die, each just after making another clone then committing suicide. That's insane.


Side note: I wonder if the government would let me pay to make a clone and keep him rather than be destroyed after-words? I would love to have a second me around to play video games with. ******* myself is just a given, really.

Agree, because whether i persist or not does not matter, considering we are only as much of a person as the life we have remembered. If he remembers everything, then he is me.

He believes he is the original you and that nothing went wrong during the teleportation. Your consciousness ceased to exist and you will no longer know or experience anything, you won't know the clone was successfully created or anything. You will die. The copy lives on.
Would you be okay with committing suicide as long as it created a copy of you that left off where you died?

Because it wouldn't be me. It would be a copy of myself who would ACT exactly as I would act. For all intents and purposes it would be me, but more importantly I would be dead. And I don't intend on being dead.

But what makes you, you? Is it your brain? If I take your brain and put it in somebodies body, who will be "you"? If it's your body, how many organ transplants would it take until it wasn't you?

It's your brain. And yes, if you put my brain in somebody else's body I'll be in their body.

If you make an identical copy of my brain and then kill my brain, you have killed me.

But what in your brain makes you? Simply the way your neurons are arranged? Hypothetically if I take both halfs of your brains and put them into seperate bodies, which one of them is "you"? Each brain will have enough to function.

Both would contain my conscious. Each piece of my brain would behave simply as if I had had a brain transplant/lobotomy.

Say you have a 3d printed pickaxe Not sure why I thought of a pickaxe of all things to be honest. . When it breaks you print off another one atom for atom. The new pickaxe isn't the same pickaxe. It's different. The same way identical twins are not the same person.

That sounds like Soma but less dark.
I don't think I'd have a problem with it. Our bodies make new and replace old parts all the time. It's still technically me.

That's a flawed argument. The continuity of your brain function has never been interrupted.
It's insane to think that arranging another set of particles to make a functioning you somewhere else and then destroying the original means that your consciousness will transfer and live on in the newly created human; it already has a consciousness, one that is identical to yours but not yours.

It's still me. As long as the previous "me" was destroyed as well, I wouldn't care.
The clone would be identical to me, and thus, also me. While "I" would die the other me would live on uninterrupted. No problems here.

It would be you only in the sense that it would behave like you and believe itself to be the uninterrupted original. You're okay with never experiencing the rest of your life so long as a clone of you gets to?

I would be dead, so I wouldn't really care. The clone would be a direct copy of me in every way, so I have no problem letting the later "me" live on. It would just be a time jump for him.

So you would willingly kill yourself? Sorry I'm just trying to wrap my head around it because I don't care if a clone of me would experience the rest of my life in my place, I want to personally experience it.

Yes. I don't really view it as a clone, and more like another me. He won't be me, but is still me. I'm still technically living on, so I don't mind.

He is self-aware from the start. I'd be like:

Clone's fw "Cool."
"Wanna play multiplayer SE?"
"Nah, bro is hogging the second PC all the time. How bout a walk?"
"Yeah, cool."
And we'd walk an shoot **** and we would work on answering the age old question: Is selfcest masturbation or gay?

After some time you would realise that your clone is your ultimate competitor, your absolute equal. You would try to be better than your clone, lest he be better than you. You would have restless nights thinking about the stuff the clone might not be telling you, how he is maybe getting ahead. You think about the job you want, the girl you've been going after and realize he'd be the most likely to take it all away from you and you would be the inferior clone.

There is absolutely no way that murder could be avoided.

Fear of my clone getting ahead? that's stupid, why not move foward together, it's faster and more reliable than trying to do **** on your own

Only deals with it in the sense that this shows up in the film, towards the end. It's just a plot device, there's no discussion about it. It's viewn as horrific by the very few people who know about it. The movie does not exactly "deal with it". The whole movie is about "how far would you go", not this paradox.

When I learned, how do works teleports in star trek.
It blown my mind. After that i knew why there's no money in their universe. And how it works. Humans are in some kind of collective. Life of single person doesn't matter. Captain kirks was killed multiple times - he was dead each time, when he was teleported. They ripped him apart - to single atoms. And then, they sent information about his body - to create perfect clone (even with memories abouyt teleportation) in destination place. It exactly, what happend each time, when somebody else was teleported.
