biodigital cloning
n.— «Scientists have an idea of how teleportation would work for people. The person would first have to be destroyed—yes, destroyed. But it’s a good kind of “destroyed.” The teleporter would map the person’s body, genetic makeup, memories and so on. An exact copy of the person would then be reassembled at his or her destination. The process, called biodigital cloning, would kill a person and make a copy at the same time.» —“Even far-fetched scientific theories can’t stop Jersey traffic woes” by Chuck Pizar Home News Tribune (East Brunswick, New Jersey) Oct. 28, 2006.
