I'm quite aware, but the problem I have with the discussion at hand is that rather than serving an interesting vessel for a major issue (the question of personal continuity), it's basically doing the opposite. The stated premise is that teleportation is the break down of an object and the reassembly of it elsewhere. The extrapolation is that this breaks continuity. The Conclusion is that teleportation is therefore bad. The OP didn't attempt to argue the importance of personal continuity. It's pretentious and serves only to make the participants feel smart, which is a bastardization of philosophy.

First of all, quantum entanglement isn't teleportation of physical matter. Rather, it's an observed phenomenon where two particles are bounced off of each other and when one particle is observed to spin one way, the other particle will spin the opposite way. No actual observed matter is moved. Secondly, Quantum Teleportation doesn't transmit boolean data, which makes it inherently problematic for accurate replication of a structure. Lastly, both of the above methods only work on single particles. The reason I stated that it would take energy on the scale of a star is because the energy required to compile such particles into physical matter is astronomical. Even if it were linear (which it isn't), it would be the number of atoms in your body times the amount of energy required for quantum entanglement or quantum transport plus the amount of energy stored in the chemical bonds between those atoms. Granted, even with that big of a number using a star as a comparison is a tad extreme. Still, it's a big damn number, far in excess of what the entirety of human civilization has ever produced.
