oboy.  we get to talk about matter transmission again.

i don't care how many ra81's of data you have on me, and i don't care
how good you are at reconstructing me: once i'm dead, i'm dead.  you
can make copies of me until you're blue in the face, but *i*'ll still
be dead.

you can walk into a disintegrator beam and have a copy of you made
on another planet if you want, but i'm fond of this particular copy
of myself.

i suppose that's why i don't have any interest in having children.
