Teleportation is breaking one down to quanta - that is killing you — then sending those quanta elsewhere. Are you dead and a copy of you now revived? Does your soul follow?

Great question. My opinion is that teleportation of man is academic as man will never be able to do it - ever. We will kill each other off or some muslim will blow up the Earth before that could ever happen.

By soul ... do you mean spirit - the part of you that leaves your dead body and goes to heaven and lives forever? If so man can not create spirit. Man will never be able to create spirit.

which raises an interesting academic question - what does a duplicated man act like with no soul?

I remember seeing a movie when I was young about a guy that was frozen when he died and later was thawed out when a cure was found. He was soulless and evil. Maybe Kurt Russle? Can’t recall the title either.
