	Imagine, a matter transfer takes place, the body is transmitted, the
	soul remains stranded outside the evaporated original host body, and
	a new, soulless body is assembled at the other end of the
	transmitter.  The soul makes it's merry way off to the next world,
	but what happens to the body?  If we follow the Christian religion,
	it is quite possible for a body to survive without a soul -- animals
	do it all the time.  So do we, in one fell swoop, wipe out the souls
	of every person on earth?

We may not wipe them out, they may just hang around.  Talk about a plot
for Ghostbusters II!!!
