The trasporter destroys your matter, stores it as information, and recreates you on the other side. They literally have the power to clone humans indefinitely, and to prevent death by restoring a "checkpoint" saved in the transporter buffer. They can absolutely take the pattern of tuvix and clone it while separating the two.
It's how they cured Dr. Pulaski that one and only time.
And Picard in that one weird episode where he gets posessed by an entity and decides to "merge" with it in the vacuum of space. Doesnt work out, and they beam his consciousness(?) back using an older pattern of him from the buffer who doesnt even remember what happened.
Imagine you are being beamup from a mission on a planet just for everyone to cheer and cry as you materialize. You are confused because they saw you 5 seconds ago but they explain that you died a gruesome death and got recovered from the last teleport buffer of you. How traumatic would that be?
I would immediately be figuring out how to get unsupervised access to the transporter so I could start photocopying myself
I'd contend that the world needs, at most, just one of me.
More room for mes
