Your comment reminded me of a old Outer Limits episode, "Think Like A Dinosaur" where the teleportation "equation had to be balanced." After a delayed confirmation, the technician had to kill the original woman.

I've read the short story this was based on. If memory serves it was the first time I encountered the concept of throwing someone out an airlock.

That was a great show - but I haven't seen that episode. Maybe Netflix will revive it someday.

For shows like that there are usually unlicensed copies on YouTube.

Try to find it. This is probably my favorite episode and one of the best fictional explorations of the problems involved with teleportation.
