	"The exact duplication of every molecule of somebody's body
	will create a new, living human being."

Setting aside for the moment the transmission of the "soul", there's
still the conflict with Heisenberg's thesis, which states [briefly]
that you can't exactly determine both the position and the velocity of
a subatomic particle.  Without this information, you can't replicate
the particle with its velocity.

And, yes, I agree that this thesis may well prove to be surmountable,
but some pretty heavy present-day theory rests on it.  Anyway, it makes
as much sense to cling to Heisenberg as to the Einsteinian anti-FTL
claims ...
