Yes. I get to die and pass all my responsibilities to my quantum clone. Sign me the fuck up.
And the clone gets a great excuse to get out of things. “That wasn’t me, that was my clone”
Well I think if teleporters actually do get invented one day, the law would make the clone legally the same person as the original
Yup.
Not only would I use it, I would abuse it.
I'd duplicate myself more than once, and at least once so I could fuck myself.
I'd tweak the transporter to adjust my body as I went through it. Best weight-loss, gym routine, plastic surgery, dick-enhancement pill ever, all in one.
I would be the reason such devices would be strictly regulated by people with ethics. "Is it murder if you kill your clone?" "Who cares, energize and last one stabbed wins!"
How would you deal with yourself after you fuck yourself?!
Do you want a really creepy twin with much less resources than you to walk around the world? Would you wanna kill that person? No one would notice surely.
Similar matter is dealt with in the book Dark Matter.
In ST canon they are considered the safest form of travel. So, yeah I'd use them if that was the standard.
I'm with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.
Instantly vaporize so a clone can live? No thanks!
