You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?

To fully understand my question, you need to understand the safety concerns regarding teleporters as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI

spoilerI wouldn't, because the person that reappears aint me, its a fucking clone. Teleporters are murder machines. Star Trek is a silent massacre!

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
