Teleportation is a device used in many Science Fiction stories to transport people from one place to another.
However, one aspect of it is overlooked - dematerialization means death. As soon as you dematerialize, you are dead. The person who appears at the other end may be made from the same things as you, but they are different. Their configuration could be exactly the same but they still won't be you. They will think they are, but they won't be. Instead, they'll be a perfect duplicate who believes that they are you.
How do you solve this conundrum?
There are a few ways -
First is wormholes - instead of dematerialization followed by rematerialization, you can simply have a wormhole.
Second is to indoctrinate an entire generation into believing that your mind is carried by the teleportation device. While it wouldn't be true, it would solve the whole problem.
