    Adding to your examples in the cannon of Star Trek the teleporter is not a murder machine, except for all those transporter accidents. In “Daedalus” (ENT) the creator of the teleporter somehow proved it, even if not every officer believes that yet.

    Real life though, I’d never set foot in a transporter. A real life, Star Trek like transporter would definitely be a murder machine though.

      @InputZero I avoid sleep for the same reasons everyone avoids transporters. We don’t know what consciousness is and if the soul or consciousness is even real.

      Who’s to say I don’t die when I go to sleep and some other mook doesn’t wake up with all my memories?
