    My first thought was wouldn’t that reset our memories to that point too?

    Granted losing some memories or being dead is a pretty easy choice, but using it to reverse aging or other physical things would be a costly one

      Would YOU lose “some memory”, or would you be destroyed and the transporter would recreate a person who believes to be you from a previous point in time?

      And how do we know that isn’t what happens every single time someone is beamed somewhere?

        Calm down Theseus

        But yes, I’m on the “it’s essentially a clone” and the original is killed side of that argument, so it would just be a copy of you that believes they lost time somehow until someone told them what happened
