    Nonono, that’s taking a step backwards toward the Ship of Theseus instead of the teleporter question. Everyone agrees there is a continued experience regardless of whether someone says, “yup that’s still exactly your body”.

    The entire point of the teleporter question is… where is “your” mind and identity defined? If it’s only a prescription for how a body looks and behaves, then it doesn’t matter. If it’s someone’s own, personal, literal consciousness and continued sense of ‘self’ by that specific consciousness, it does matter if YOUR consciousness is coming out still attached to the body.
