        His machine would not work very well.

        Actually, now that I think about it, it’s far worse than that. If a company has a teleporter that can build a copy of you, they can also build an almost-copy of you. Say, a copy that is less rebellious. More obedient.

        Yeah, the idea’s cool in fiction, but in reality I would never touch a machine like this. I will walk my ass over in analogue.

          I’m a biologist. Perfectly recording something is very very far removed from understanding something enough to make targeted modifications.
