I would not teleport even if I could. I don't want to die only to be replaced by a clone that thinks its the original me. Give me a portal I can step though, and I'll step through it, but outright teleportation is a no from me :)

This depends on the mechanism of teleportation. The Star Trek matter-energy conversion with quantum state duplication is absolutely what you described. The ability to make personal wormholes, folding space, passing through a hyperdimensional space, or macro-scale quantum tunneling are all methods of teleportation that don't involve any overt destruction of your corporeal entity and are all technically feasible under the laws of physics or mathematics. The real issue is the potential for exotic forms of radiation that cook you and anyone around you instantly on arrival. The real wish is "I wish everyone could teleport without risk of death, damage, or adverse environmental repercussions."

Personally, I would have absolutely no problem with that.
