§1: OK, thanks. §2: Your argument actually doesn't feel like such a stretch. QM is just the final nail in the coffin, that made me actually comfortable with cut & paste transportation. §3: We could actually get the same effect as the mad scientist, actually. Freeze my body, upload, lock me in a virtual cell for a few subjective hours, download by rearranging my neurons (or even my whole body) according to my virtual trip, reboot. There, you get the same final state: same atoms, and same memories compared to what they would be if you locked me in a physical cell instead.
