I'm not sure why but this was the funniest thing I've read all day.
I too have thought about this particular subject, I wouldn't do it. Regardless of the different versions of the teleporter. Losing consciousness during sleep is one thing, atomizing your self is something completely different. And frankly it's just not natural.
But think of the possibilities/perversions. What if somebody could intercept the transmission and make a copy of it? Then reformulate another version of you. What would happen if you could do this to world leaders? Or for interrogation purposes? Imagine training one super soldier and then making a million copies of that one guy.
What if you couldn't make copies of people because of the quantum factor, that would mean someone would be able to digitally kidnap you, reroute the feed to someplace else. And poof, you don't end up where you were supposed to be going. Or even if they couldn't make a copy of you, they would be able to make a non conscious mock-up of your though processes and memories, at the time of digitization.
Could you imagine the possibilites for direct marketing....
