Brussels-easy. You violated the law against murder there, only to flee to NYC. Like boarding a plane to NYC except quicker. Let us say a child molester, attacks a young child in Brussel's and then teleports to NYC to escape. Whilst in NYC the molester from Brussels molests two other young children before he is captured. At this point should we hear the NYC Molester saying. "That was not me! The Brussels molester died whilst in teleporting (by necessity). At this point should a jury even care?
It does get fun if 300 versions of Stalin are produced, and only 298 of the clones commit mass murder post teleporting. -----Original Message----- From: Telmo Menezes <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Apr 23, 2015 6:15 pm Subject: crime and duplication machines My suspicion is that "personal identity" is a human concept that is evolved mainly to enforce social norms, and that it only works until technologies like duplication machines or mind uploading are created. To illustrate this, I propose a dilemma: Let's assume I murder someone and then get scanned in Brussels, and reconstructed in Washington. Who should go to jail? What if I am destroyed in Brussels and reconstructed in Washington and Moscow? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
