    I hated that episode. The teleporter is a death machine, Bones is correct.

    What if sleep is also death and we awake a new person with all the memories of the old? We will never know

      No need for Star Trek level technobabble to have an existential crisis: Your cells, organs, and bioelectric connections have been regrown and replaced countless times. Your “memory” as it were is doing the best it can to retain previous input while simultaneously replenishing itself.
