    If a loved one took a transporter trip I’d love them just the same when they got back though.

    No, you’d love a copy of them just the same…

      You could say the same of a 7 year old in relation the the baby you previously loved.

      With all the cell-division this creature before you is just a modified copy.

        Well, no. It’s an evolution of the original one.

        Not a newly created copy.

          It’s constantly copying itself through cell division and gene replication.
