The Federation is guilty of mass homicide, and only covers its tracks by releasing an exact duplicate of everyone killed by their euphemistically-named "transporters".

-- Steve's definition of continuity of consciousness is a bit stricter than some others'.

You're assuming there that self-identity requires continuity of consciousness.

(Also, the Federation explicitly exists in a universe where souls exist, so if you assume that souls travel to the new copy of the body instantly then they're killing them and then bringing them back to life!)
