Quantum origin of conscience might actually make teleporting not a horrible deal. Perhaps if you make a perfect duplicate of someone consciousness it gets entangled (or other technobable) and causes the person to briefly enter a coma like state until one of the duplicates is destroyed. In that case teleporting a la Star Trek wouldn't be as horrible as it is depicted - i.e. clone someone and then kill one original.
