I saw a cartoon with a similar premise a while back. It was late when I saw it, but it was really a trip. There was a professor explaining how his teleportation machine worked to a little girl. He explained that it made an exact copy and then destroyed the original. He demonstrated it several times. She refused to use it and posed the question, "What if you use it and wait for 5 minutes to destroy the original?" The professor agreed that this would be fine also and proceeded to make another copy. 5 minutes rolls around and the 2 professors argue over who now has to die. Eventually the original is killed, but the professor no longer fells that his machine is a success.
I've actually spent the last 15 minutes googling trying to figure it out. If anyone is still reading this thread and knows what I am talking about, I would love to know what the name of that cartoon is.
