Default Would transporters effectively make people immortal?
The death toll would be so horrific though. But it would finally give the world a cheap and clean way to be rid of all the dirty j00s.

Transporters tend to have the opposite effect to that of making people immortal. Two guns and jumping through the air??? Somebody's about to get ****ed up.

Oerdin, it might be possible to transport objects without also having the information processing capacity to actually store or edit them.

Yeah, but it would be cool.

Michael Crighton can choke on a dick.

I bought that book secondhand for 2$ right before I took a flight to Colorado. Wasn't worth it.

Being immortal sucks. Old people should just make room for the younger ones when their time has come.

IIRC, in Timeline they could transport people back in time but couldn't reconstruct them back in time, so they relied on the fact that somebody in a parallel universe would be able to reconstruct the people who got sent back in time, problem solved. Also, the tech villain had quantum computers and a time machine and was going to use them to make a medieval amusement park. Michael Crighton can choke on a dick.
A bit late for that, didn't he die last year? But anyways, if you don't like author's works, don't read them...

As for the op, you'd end up in a situation like the Eugenics Wars in trek. No genetic manipulation, transport manipulation.

KHAAAAANNN!

Which also means you can create massive clone armies. Get on brain washed super soldier then create millions of copies of him.

how would that work? not saying your wrong i just dont know how you could copy soemthing whitout full information.
Via physical quantum entanglement. You don't need necessarily need a giant computer to store all the info on the physical state of particles in order to achieve quantum teleportation.

Think of it like a world where you've invented the radio but not the phonograph.

Not so long ago there was a story about how there are currently more data being transmitted in the world than can be stored.

Quibble: technically it is stored while moving, just not stored for an indefinate amount of time. Which is only relevent here because it is not editable while being stored in that manner (pretty nice comparrison really).

Depends on how quickly you can edit. If you can do it in real time, and if you have enough and fast enough storage to buffer editable elements, then sure. The storage may also limit what you can edit, e.g. maybe you can buffer enough data to repair a cell, but reconstructing part of the brain or giving yourself nice tits is too complex.
