The dirty secret of the star trek transporters is that it kills the original and recreates it elsewhere.

And the open secret of Star Trek is their denial of a soul, which can never be destroyed and recreated by science.

The recreated "thing" would be a hollow shell.

No, it is the Heisenberg compensator that rips the soul out and then squirts it back into the lifeless re-created body.

Also most of your atoms are replaced every 7 years or so, the teleporter just shortens it to s few seconds.
