I am just not comfortable with the idea of my original body being destroyed and recreated at the other end. the whole sixth day thing was not appealing to me because there was not a conciousness transfer. it was merely a recreation of memories. If i get transported, i want to go back to where i was transported from by means of regular transportation, and look at the body i was transported out of, in other words, i wouldnt have them "balance the equation" and if i go back over there and the body that I came from was still concious, Id know that i was nothing more than a clone and I wasnt the same person. the only way that transportation would work is if conciousness could be transferred, not just memory.
If you want to call that conciousness, a soul, okay. sure.
Maybe if matter wasnt destroyed and recreated, but rather actually transported. dissassembled, shot at light speed to the other location in a sort of stream, and reassembled. then I might be more inclined to try it.
Thanks for starting this thread, I often need to express my thoughts about things like this in order to think out my opinions on the subject.
