It’s just that the original is deliberately destroyed every time

If it's so fast that you don't see it, it doesn't happen.

Again, if we had those machines, and they were reliable (unlike the Star Trek ones) everybody would use them, nobody would blink an eye. Nobody would have any answer to those philosophical questions, and close to nobody would spend their days thinking about them.

    I mean, just because it happens fast or in an unnoticeable way doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If somebody vaporized themselves instantly it's still suicide. Sure, people would probably accept the fact that their original is being killed for convenience, but the fact stays.
