I don't know about the Transporter.
I’ve been binge watching Star Trek on Netflix and I’ve forgotten quite a bit of it. I remembered in the first movie something happens with the transporter and the person beamed dies. Happens again on Enterprise series (Archer) and DS9 (Sisko) Can’t recall on Janeway’s or Picard’s and I’ve not seen any of the new seasons or movies because they weren’t approved by Roddenberry.
The philosophical question is, since the transporter scrambles your molecules when you beam down or beam up, do you actually die and become a clone of yourself, or is it you in an other dimension?
I can’t help but think when I think of “Beam me up Scotty†of MIke TeeVee from Willy Wonka getting scrambled too.
