We have just invented a brand new mode of transportation: the Teleporter Mark I. It is similar to the teleporter from the Star Trek series. It works by taking an extremely detailed 3D photograph of you (right down to individual atoms) and making a record of it. It then disintegrates you into your constituent atoms and beams those atoms along with the information in the 3D photograph to another teleportation station many miles away. At the receiving end, the received atoms are reconstructed using the blueprint and a molecularly identical you walks out of the booth.

You have seen this machine in action, but have not yet used it yourself. You have seen friends use it, and when you talk to them afterwards they certainly seem to be the people you grew up with.

Then along comes an engineer who realises that the design of the Teleporter Mark I can be improved upon, and designs the Teleporter Mark II. Now the only thing sent from one teleporter to the next is the blueprint. Your atoms are just left behind and stored in a Raw Materials block. When the blueprint arrives it builds the new body out of atoms stored in its material block. Out walks a molecularly identical person, who is made of entirely new atoms, but is identical nonetheless.

You have also seen friends use this machine, and the results are the same. They still appear to be your old mates, and don't appeared to have changed.

So would you be prepared to use such a machine? Or do you believe that this is nothing more than a suicide booth?

Note:
The poll makes the assumption that said machines exist and work as specified.
