Problem: year 3222, Joe Jones, three years ago he started using the tele-matic (machine used to teleport employees to work on Borax3, a place far away from Earth). The company told him that the machine makes their bodies fly through the space at fantastic speed, but they lied and the true is that the machine scans their bodies and duplicates them and the original bodies are instantaneusly vaporised when the new one is created. The company gave all its employees the option of using the tele-matic to take one last "return" trip back to earth and in fact thats the only way to get back home.
What should he do?
If he uses the tele-matic machine once again, will he be transported back to earth?
Or will he be killed?
Will it be he who appears on Earth and gets to return to the family of whom he seems to have all these fond memories?
Or will he be incinerated, to be replaced by someone merely just like him?
What would I do?
I think that the tele-matic, to transfer your memories and the way you are, is transfering your soul. So, if you still remember everything and act in the same way, you are still you. It's like a person with a plastic surgery, no because he had a plastic surgery and his body is different he is another person. Your mind makes you who you are, some people would recognice you because of it or the way you act and some others for the way you look, but even if he uses the machine again, he would look the same when he gets home, so if he will be looking the same and thinking the same, it will be him who gets to return to Earth.
I would obviously go back home.
