I take my views on teleportation from Barclay. I believe that teleportation destroys you and creates an identical clone that believes with utter certainty that it is you, and when questioned will say "the teleportation was a complete success, I haven't changed at all", while your own consciousness stream has ended.

At best you might have a reincarnation experience, where you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between yourself and your previous life, but it's not a risk I'd ever be willing to take.

Which Barclay, sorry? There are rather a lot of them. Thanks!

That's the one! The one who had a phobia of transporting because he believed... well pretty much what I said.
