  11.   One of the things I don't like too much about Star Trek is that
  12. no one seems to want to explore the logical conclusions their
  13. technology should come to.   They should be able to make an
  14. exact duplicate of anyone who's been transported simply by
  15. using the trace and giving it the appropriate amount of energy.
  16. (Note that I'm ignoring the idea that transporters only look at
  17. your DNA pattern; it would be completely impossible to reconstruct
  18. someone based on their DNA alone.)
