Stargate yes, Star Trek no.
is star trek really clone rather than teleport? I haven't really watched much of it (only like 3 or 4 seasons).
The general idea is a teleporter rips you apart and the atoms go to the destination to be reassembled in the previous state.
Whether or not it kills you is speculation. Arguably you're pretty dead if you're ripped apart atom by atom, and then a clone is assembled using the same parts.
But I don't think it's answerable if the recreated "you" is a clone or not until people can figure out what the mind even is.
Only if there is a DHD on both sides. I donβt want some in-house built crap that ignores the failsafes that the original builders put in place
Stargate lore incorporates buffers holding your intermediate information, so it's the same than Star Trek, actually.
