3. ...There is no individuality either; everyone is just a drone. Keeping the collective is all nice and well; but when it comes time to conquer others you're as expendable as anything else. Hardly a culture that cherishes life... Surely, if we can replicate organic matter and be able to break up and re-assemble matter through transport technology -- surely we can write consciousness to some sort of medium. Specifically, what I'm thinking of taking a back-up from the transporter's buffer and somehow integrating the transporter with the replicator.
The transporter seems to work in a similar way to the replicator. Who's to say that it doesn't? Maybe it really does make a clone on the other side and the original is destroyed (I saw some episode of The Outer Limits that was built on this idea).
