I never understood how transporters are not basically used as quicksave devices. Redshirt died on the planet after beaming down? Just create another copy from the transporter puffer. Tuvix deserves to live. Sure, just recreate tuvok and Neelix from the transporter puffer.

Edit: "Transporter puffer" may come from me watching the German dub

Transporters become horrifying when you think of them as something obliterating all your molecules then recreating them somewhere else. The thing that comes out the other side has all your memories and personality and looks the same… but you 100% died when you got vaporized in the teleport.

I would never do it.

For more information, watch the documentary "The Prestige"

Oh man, that was a crazy reveal. And he kept them all!

If it has my memories and affects the world the way I would, that's me.

So... don't think of them like that. They clearly don't work that way in Trek.
