On the Matter Resorection Issue:
	I once (in the process of paytesting a friends gaming system)
devloped a character who had many of the problems associated with the
current discussion.  Enough so that the character was abanded because
of them.

	Replecator could dupulicate matter.  Not create matter, only
recreate and replace the lost energy that made up the snapshot that
he stored.  He could also store a copy of himself at an earlier age
and replicate himself and the expence of the aged 'version'.  The new
'copy' would awaken in a world that he new the other had to leave
and in one in which he had been prepared for. Interestingly this
created a immortial creature with a very limited memory span.
This created the need for VERY accurate diaries and many books on
languages since the creation would only have the memory of a single
life span and not the life that preceaded his recreation.
	Unfortunately the idea of being abile to recreate others, was
very disquiting to others.....
