Brussels-easy. You violated the law against murder there, only to

young
children before he is captured. At this point should we hear the NYC
Molester saying. "That was not me! The Brussels molester died

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.

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?
Copies should be punished only for things they did in their
subjective past.
Yes, and only if there are evidence that they commit it, and it was
not a dream. I have a heard about some people claiming to have killed
someone, but left free as they did not succeed in providing evidences.
Your remark raises the question: can we condemn a person who has
killed someone, but is completely amnesic of the fact (according to
the nominated experts)?
