Round 1 - The Teletransporter Choice You have been chosen to go on a very important mission to Mars. You have no choice in this matter, you must go. But you can choose your means of transport. One method is teletransportation. You will step into a scanner here on earth that will destroy your brain and body, while recording the exact state of all your cells. This information will be transmitted to a replicator on Mars - taking three minutes to arrive - which will then create a brain and body exactly like yours using entirely new materials. The person on Mars will look like you, think like you, in fact be indistinguishable from you. He or she will certainly feel as though they have merely fallen asleep on Earth and then woken up on Mars. This method is 100 percent reliable. The other method of transport is space travel. This is very risky and there is a 50 percent chance that the spacecraft will not complete the journey and you will die in transit. But if you do successfully take the spacecraft, then your body and brain won't at any stage have been destroyed. You must choose the option you think will give yourself the biggest chance of surviving. Also give your arguments in favor of your answer. (A) It's the teletransporter for me (B) I'll take a chance with the spacecraft
What is this from?
From philosophy subject
Ok
Need to slove this secanrio
Ok this is a lot of info lol
You understand what the question is though right? You just need to figure out the best option?
Yes need to figure out the best option and explain
Ok
Is there any other background info you learned prior to this question?
The decisions you make determine whether you stay alive or perish. You should always base your decisions on nothing more than the desire to keep yourself in existence. Also, each scenario should be taken at face value. The situation will be as described - there are no "tricks" - and you do not need to worry about other 'what ifs'.
Hmmm
Well if the transport is 50 percent reliable and the teleportation is 100 reliable as stated in the problem, which one is safer?
Its a teletransporter for me
Oh yea it's called teleteatransporter lol
That's what I think too
So i selected the A
I think that's a fair choice
Need to answer with argument
Well you can use the percentage of reliability for your explanation
The Telstransporter has a higher reliability could be an argument.
What do you think?
Yeah your are but I'm confuse about how can i start to write answer
Is there a rubric or format you need to follow?
I have a answer but when i put that answer it got 100 % plagiarism bcuz it's from google i need to rewrite that answer but I'm not good at rewriting 😵
Lol dang
Ans: (A) It's the teletransporter for me: The reason I chose a teletransporter is because I believe that my existence is defined primary based on my memories, experiences and personality and as long as those are retained, I would be happy to teleport. Also, since I am on an important mission, I would like to reach my destination as soon as possible and the teletransporter makes it possible with a 100 percent survival chance. I would not want to die in space, unable to reach my destination, hence would not choose the spacecraft in any likelihood. This is the answer
Alright it isn't bad but maybe try first stating the main reason why you picked the teleporter
Like about the percentage
Then you can build off that idea
Okay I'll try
You will do good
Thanks
