>>126412328Strictly reading, the descriptions the both of you give are kinda the same.
>>126411952Logically, nothing about the episode should work. It's more like the transporter from The Fly, which runs on pure bullshit. If you could blindly overlap two organisms, then you should get a dead lump on the other end. Bones intersecting muscle and nerves. Septic substances where they don't belong. Nothing would line up, and they aren't even the same species with the same body chemistry.
...
Anyhow, at any rate, you have to imagine that the idea of intentionally using the transporter to make copies, has to be some violation of prior shows that claimed they were unable to replicate living tissue. Yeah, a living example should logically be better than a computer pattern, but then why didn't they think of that before? If they could intentionally manipulate a pattern in transport, then it should be a medical miracle that could reconstitute anyone.
