This high lights a big question. Is the mind, body, and soul different properties? Can they be created, destoryed, or transfered?

A long time (relative to me proper), I decided that if I concidered the quantum duplicated senario as the probable outcome (that is, I concider de-molecularization and remolecularization), I must then conclude that in every passing moment (whatevera moment maybe) consists of the same process.

That is the from moment to moment, I could destroy, and reform and not even know that me previous (as apposed to me proper) ceased.

I then saw that episode of the outlimits and it made me think of what happen if I quantum duplicated but the "original" remained. I realized something, and the best way I can think to communicate it is this:

"To look into his eyes, and to know that he knows,
But to not know what it is that he is thinking."

There is no way to distinguish in this senario who is who. It's a basic property of Quantum mechanics, and where the whole idea of Entanglement comes from.

I have since concluded that if such is the case for teleportation, then such is the case for regular space-time, and therefore I can make no meaningful distiguishment between the senarios.

The stargate thing, as I understand it, functions on the property of a wormhole. Matter in, Matter out. Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, and further what is that goes in, is what comes out, in the same order.

Therefore if you are person A upon going in, and person A defines you as the state of matter upon entrance, and your state of matter upon coming out is Identical in all respects to state A, excepting position, then we can conclude that there is no meaningful distiction between the states. (This is of course in line with the Equivilancy priniciple.)

Siddartha said 2500 years ago, the mind, body and soul are not seperate. That they are one in the same, and a change to one is a change to the other. Transferance of one's state, in whole, is transferance of all those parts.

Just my two cents on it all.
