human teleportation

If teleportation is based on the cellular level, could people with cancer have their cancerous cells teleported away?
 
^^^^ Wouldnt that be an amazing thing?



When we attempt teleportation and have researched and tested n tried lots of things to get to the point we can actualy attempt a real life life test on a human or animal.

Im sure thats one of the first things many people would want to try.

If we have not already cured cancer.

Well, if it was possible to teleport people, why not? All you would need would be to do some sort of data processing before reassembling them again.

Even if they do transport your body, how the hell can they transport your memories?

This leads to the question, are we simply the sum of our parts or is there a more esoteric thing going on in our brains.

Even if we can also teleport memories, does that necessarily mean that our personality will also be transported.

Is our entire essence simply a quantum fingerprint.

If we were able to copy ourselves at the quantum level, could we become immortal, could we become like Gods ourselves?
 
^^^ A very interesting question indeed.


your indivual personaility i sit that easy to just take apart then reassmble and make a copy of?

Research and many brilliant scientists will research these questions and one day we will have our answer. Now that is a fact is it now?



In 1903 the Wright brothers flew for 59 seconds.
38 years later the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
28 years after that, we landed on the moon.
We went from gliding a few feet off the ground for less than a minute to launching rockets out of orbit, traveling for hundreds of thousands of miles, landing on the moon, and then returning, all within a single lifetime.



Who can really say that somethings impossible without even trying.
 
What I dont like is, Will you be the same person. By teleporting yourself do you cease being yourself.

For instance, If you have the ability to transport yourself, obviously you're buffered somewhere during the process, Whats stopping you being recreated twice at the destination(intentionally). And which of the 2 would be you. they cant both be

This is always what i have thought when thinking about teleportation in the star trek sense.


Obvoiusly we would want to try and create a form of teleportation that doesnt completly destroy the human that is being teleported. I would rather I come out the end beingme and not a copy of myself... which would technically be dead when you think about it.

Those are mostly physical things requiring nothing more than advanced machinery of some kind.

Completely dematerialising a person and reassembing them elsewhere sounds far too far fetched, and even if possible would probably never pass ethical requirements.

We cant even fully carry out stem cell research, or genetic modification to remove severe genetic disease due to so many people considering it immoral, I wonder how people who object to those things would feel about teleportation and completely breaking down and reassembling a human elsewhere.

When we have a cure for Aids, cancer, every genetic disease, and paralysis / amputation, I might consider something like teleportation to be more believable.

Until then, we have far too long a way to go, and will likely be extinct by the time it is possible.

Teleportation would be no different...



As for ethics the day we come up with something that can teleport whether it be dissasmbling someone.

Or actualy being able to send them as a whole instead of taking them apart and putting them together. Ethicly.... as a society we will decide at the time we cannot say that it is impossible.


Maybe now with our current technology but thats why we research and create new things maybe in a few lifetimes we will have the technology through other advances to give us the science to do soemthing likethis.


There is no point being closed minded about everything...because that is truely being ignorant.
 
^^^ Bhavv come on son you gotta do better then that.




Your like that annoying guy in every science movie.


WHO GOES OUT OF his way to say that something is IMPOSSIBLE and we will all die from aids by trying.


Then we do it and we win and all go home with a hot broad.

you'd have to put something else in suddenly having a tumour sized vacuum inside you would be pretty damaging I'd imagine.
