okey but for a brief moment in time, I cease to exist. What if that moment was a little bit longer? like a minute. Or a day? So the teleportation machine destroys the original body while perfectly retaining all physical (and mental) information and reconstructs it perfectly, at some point later

I would say it is totally not me anymore, i died the moment I entered the machine

    the part where I ceased to exist; after that, anything can happen; you might as well sell me heaven (or a bridge)

    EDIT: thinking again, and I might reconsider. After all, it's exactly like "clinically dead patient coming back to life". SO i guess it's fine?

    I guess you could look at it like just changing states. You were matter, then you were information in the computer, then you went back to matter. I would say even if you did stop existing then you ended up re-existing anyways. I'm thinking 1.5 mil for the bridge though. Heaven still needs some remodeling before I'm putting it on the market.
