There was actually a great episode of the Outer Limits from 2001 (episode 8, season 7) called 'Think Like a Dinosaur' with a very similar plot to the cartoon, with some of the same questions asked.
Basically, Dinosaur-like aliens have set up an installation on the moon to teach humans interstellar teleportation. When an accidental duplicate of a woman is created by the teleportation process, it creates an ethical dilemma.
In other words, the teleporation process creates a duplicate at the destination, and automatically destroys the original. The transporter malfunctions and does not destroy the original. The human (played by Enrico Colantoni) is ordered to destroy the original after having fallen in love with her.
Well worth the time to watch.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
