Inventing a Star Trek-style teleporter would be quite something, but I don't see how it would advance the philosophy in any way. We already know the teleportation subjects would report 'feeling just the same' as before. If they didn't then by definition it's not a functioning teleporter, as it accidentally modified the subject in transit.
