Sure; I’m referring to the sort being discussed as a possibility in the mainstream nowadays. Using a faster-than-light information transference via quantum entanglement, transmitting all the necessary information to construct a perfect replica of the person at some other location, while “erasing” the original. I’ve seen this idea presented a half-dozen times or so, as a legitimate possibility. I’m pretty sure it would constitute homicide, despite there being no measurable death. Reason being that I see no way for the actual conscious experience of the person to get transported with this method.
