It would be a carbon copy. There seems to be something ethically wrong about destroying all the particles in your body and rebuilding it somewhere else.

I don't see it happening in the near future, but if we ever invent a teleporter, we'd better check the interior for flies and other microbes, before beaming up Scotty. In the introduction of a book titled The Mind's I, there's a story of an astronaut that goes on a mission to mars, leaving her daughter Sarah, back on Earth. When she arrives on the planets hostile surface, she accidentally crashes her ship, and realizes that the only way to get back to be with her daughter, is to use her backup teleporter (Teleclone Mark IV). She does so, but the problem arises, when she starts to ask herself if it's really her or a clone, that greets Sarah back home. It's a good book about many thing to do with fantasies and reflections on self and soul. Well worth reading.
