Quote:Ah, well. Yet another reason to develop teleportation booths.
But would you be satisified with destroying your current self and another copy would exist as you... or should the question be your new teleported self feel no remorse about chopping down old bonds with grandpa's axe to sail forth on the ship of theseus somewhere else?
Or perhaps future science will simply destroy the current understanding, thus making current speculation on self destruction for renewed existence elsewhere unnecessary?
Perhaps you'll bring up portable wormholes, and forcing the universe to move around you a la Futurama's space engine. Possible, highly improbable?
