Has anybody ever considered the morality of the transporters in Trek? The safety of the transporter is brought up several times, but they always avoid mentioning the potential moral issues of the transporter.
For instance, when they discovered that there were two Rikers, they focus on the interaction between the two Rikers, not the fact that one of them is a clone made from the other's transporter pattern and, apparently, some matter stored in a tank for when there is a transporter accident and they don't have enough to reassemble somebody.
