Teleportation machines exist. Most people use them, and they come out the other side just fine. Would you use them? (mander.xyz)

Would it make a difference if the laws of physics prevent or allow a machine from operating in 'duplicate' mode?

I mean at that point we probably have the tech to remotely pilot a James Cameron Avatar meat puppet, so I'd rather just do that.

And probably stay in the puppet all the time tbh because I would like to be tall and athletic. Hold the blue and alien parts tho pls.

I used to work with radiation and oh my GOD would having a disposable remote brain-controlled body be a fucking boon to that industry. Though probably at that point in tech history there will be very little if any need for human radioactive material handling
