In Response To: I don't want to end up as an android's cat. (Bill)

: TNG reference. Sorry.

: Anywho, if indeed replication is involved ("Timeline", anyone?)
: then we couldn't really call it a "transporter", per se, as it's
: not actually transporting anything.

Well, if we're gonna talk Star Trek, replicators are made using transporter technology.

: Another note: "In the footsteps of God" is a book where scientists
: have created a super computer capable of human level intelligence. Rather
: than code it, the scientists copy their own mind patterns via a Super MRI,
: which more or less gave the user a readout of the scanned [whatever] on a
: molecular level.

That sound like what happens in Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The 6th day".

: However, the Super MRI caused quantum changes in the scientists when scanned,
: and they all developed rare or odd conditions. One of the guys went
: schitzo, and another had an uncontrollable sex drive. Weird stuff like
: that.

: Anywho, my point is that if we could get an accurate scan of a person on a
: molecular level, then it would be safe to rebuild people at the other end
: because we'd know exactly how to get the machine to reassemble them.

: Personally, the idea of folding space ala Dune appeals much more to me than
: any personal teleportation.

: -Bill

In one TNG episode, Scotty is found after his "pattern" was stored in some kind of buffer in a teleporter for many years. He was perfectly normal.
