Would it make a difference if the laws of physics prevent or allow a machine from operating in 'duplicate' mode?

Yep, as long as I knew it wasn't going to kill me. I would still walk to the fridge though

What happens if I splinch myself?

Emerson Green convinced me that p-zombies are plausible. So there’s no way to know if a teleporter would end your consciousness.

If there were unlimited resources, copies would not matter, but our universe isn't build that way.

I don't belive in immortal souls with egos and all matter in our bodies is constantly changing, so all we are is forms in matter, like waves in water.

Teleporting is not a problem as long as it's perfect and there are no copies.
