I don't know if I would risk using the Mark II. We can't _really_ prove what consciousness is, and I would be too afraid that "my" consciousness would die and another one would be created elsewhere.
I'm surprised that the materialists seem more comfortable with the teleporter than the dualists. As a materialist, aren't you admitting that whatever matter forms your consciousness is essentially being destroyed, only to be reconstituted elsewhere as a new (but identical) entity? If you don't believe in a separate soul, then you KNOW that "you" and YOUR consciousness are dying and a new you is being remade.
