Is that person still you or just your cells remade as a different person who looks like you and thinks like you.
dunno but heard on the radio a while ago that scientists developed a way to teleport data not through wifi or smth
don't think it'll ever be possible to teleport a whole human tho
edit: it's called quantum teleportation

This is another problem with teleportation. Sure, we could transfer the physical body, but will the transfered brain have the same thoughts, memories etc. as the one before the teleport?
I guess that if we wanted to achieve this, we would have to first find a way to digitalize our consciousness, send the data to the place where we would teleport and then let it be un-digitalized and put back into our body.
Ignoring the whole destroy one body make another theme the idea of teleportation isn't at all possible with the current model of physics that we know.
It's impossible for anything that contains mass to reach the speed of light, this is due to mass increasing as speed increases (only noticeable once you achieve 10% of the speed of light) so to accelerate to the speed of light mass would increase to infinity.
This ain't really discussion material, the science behind it is impossible so unless we're completely wrong about physics teleportation is not possible.
An interesting discussion point, if you shine a perfect flashlight at the moon so it's diameter is something like 5cm, you then move the flashlight as fast as you can, is the spotlight on the moon capable of moving faster than the speed of light?
