Would you step into a teleporter?
Say that there is a teleporter like in Star Trek, such that when you enter it, the teleporter scans your body, breaks down your atomic structure, the information is sent to the other end of the teleporter, and your body is rebuilt. (I don't know if this is exactly how it is done in Star Trek, but this is a close enough approximation.) Would you go through the teleporter?

Re: Would you step into a teleporter?
For anyone that said they would go into the teleporter, imagine that a scientist cretes a clone of you with all your attributes and memories. Would you be indifferent to being murdered as this point, knowing that the clone was still out there and would step into your place if you died (assume that nobody would know you were murdered, so your family wouldn;t experience emotional pain, etc.)

Re: Would you step into a teleporter?
The real question is, would you remain true to your rational thought out conclusions, or would you submit to societal pressure and go through with teleporting even though you know you will die.

[/ QUOTE ] Based on your nickname, I think I have to ask this: Is someone pressing you to become a suicide bomber? Is it difficult for people to turn down becoming one? I'm not trying to ridicule or make fun of you. I'm asking seriously, so please don't take it the wrong way.
