Modern Day Price Check

It would be a bit bittersweet for offshore workers... less pay as it's no more dangerous than working in some plant somewhere, but get to see the family daily.

I think being on a platform with only water surrounding you and pumping flammable oil mixed with explosive gasses wouldn't be any safer whether there was a transporter or the victims had to wait for a helicopter or run for lifeboats.

Obviously not going to be my career choice.....

Maybe it's off on a tangent of the thread, but wouldn't it be nice if Star Trek transporters were in use?

As I see it, if such a 'transporter' was actually possible, i.e. disintegrating all the molecules in your body and then reassemble similar molecules 1-to-1 in another location, that would be like the transporter kills you, and a copy of you is born in the other location, with the copy having all your memories and thinking he is you. But he wouldnt be you; you'd be daid.

I do not think I can provide any input with the abrupt change in direction this thread has taken.

Actually it was figured out the a "transporter" would simply identify all the components that make you up, send the info to the receiving station and it would make a copy of you there. Then the departure station would disintegrate the original.

Yep -DEAD!

EDIT: plus I think The Outer Limits did a episode where the transporter to another planet was on a space station and when it received verification the copy was made the operator was to kill the original, but this one it didn't get the verification for a while until the operator and the transferee made a relationship, then he had to kill her. Then when 'she' returned they had problems with the now third version of her. Plus, for legal and purposes of religion would a copy even be alive or responsible for what the original did? Talk about a can of worms.

It might help to think of that aspect as if the subject of this thread itself went through the Star Trek transporter
