If i read this correctly.. this was once an episode for "The Outer Limits" You'd teleport and it would create an exact you on the other teleport, but then there was a guy on the first teleport control panel that would "Balance The Equation" Aka Destroy the first copy. It was great technology and moved people to other solar systems... All the guy had to do was press a button when the person was confirmed at the other end.. then he'd "Balance the equation" The thing about this is so much a soul, but what happens when you get what the episode showed. They didn't get confirmation of her telporting... so she almost died in the process, but they saved her. The "Equation Balancer" then slowly fell in love with her trying to help her feel well again as the whole experience was traumatizing (because it failed). About a week later the man found out that it was just a glitch and that the woman teleported without a problem. Now he had to Balance the equation. What normally was just an "image" or at least was able to be thought as one, was now a real person, with a real mind.. one that he really cared for. Problem was that if he didn't "delete" her, then you're gonna get one freaky paradox when the other one returns. He couldn't do it.. As it now was murder. But since the technology was being taught by a more advanced species, he HAD to or else they'd lose it... He tried to get her to the teleport terminal so he could delete her.. and failed... He then tried to sneak her off.. so that no one would be the wiser. Soon he realized it just wouldn't work and closed the airlock on her until she sufficated.
THATS the big issue I think.. It'd be great and it would work off of instantaneous cloning of body, mind, and soul.(Just as possible, never know till its tried) Problem is when something goes wrong such as this.. Then what?
I guess its times like this when I'm glad to be happy from simple things.
