Really, what do they expect? Mental Healthcare is more or less nonexistent everywhere he goes.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I'm with Bones on this one. The transporter kills you. If we have any sense of soul, or anything beyond the patterns in our biological computer brain, then the transporter kills that, and a facsimile of you is reconstructed on the other end. So you as a physical being still exists, but the ghost in the shell is destroyed. The Federation in Star Trek is full of soulless copies, and the only real people left are the minorities like Bones and Barkley.
If the soul is real, it just moves to the new body. Why would something that would presumably persist after death not?
I would assume that at the moment it is severed from the body, it goes on to whatever the next plane of existence is.
Where the guys up there immediately boot it back cause the body is still moving.
The very first Star Trek novel dealt with the issue. Spock Must Die! by James Blish. I read it years ago and enjoyed it a lot.
