The terrible secret of teleportation!

Asked by SmashTheState (14245points) May 31st, 2010

Teleportation has been around for many years, and you’ve used teleport booths all your life to get around, never thinking anything of it. Then, one day, you discover the terrible secret: the booths work by creating a perfect duplicate at the other end, exactly the same down to the last atom and quantum state, and then killing and destroying the body of the person who stepped into the booth.

Will you ever use a teleport booth again?

Would your answer change if, instead of instant death, the person who steps into the booth is taken away and shot?
