      There’s the plot contrivance of accidentally making two people instead of one (Thomas Riker episode) which opens that door even wider for the notion that new people are being made with each “transport” though I’m sure handwaving that away (or at least cultural normalization of death by disintegration followed by construction of new people in everyday use) is a norm in the setting as well as in the fandom. Dr. McCoy seems anxious about it but goes into the transporter anyway.

      oooaaaaaaauhhh
