I wonder if theoretically you could share humans through the internet? Share your sequence and someone can download it and build it with a theoretical machine. Would probably be a few Petabytes of data though like you can see in that Black Mirror episode with that spaceship.

If we ignore the mutations in the life of an individual, it would actually only be a few hundreds megabytes. Or if we already have a template of a human genome and we only code the difference between them and the human we want to copy, a few megabytes is enough since we all share A LOT of sequences
