Comment on That Voyager is one clean burning starship though, I’ll tell you what.

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.

Look at any photograph or work of art. If you could duplicate exactly the first tiny dot of color, and then the next and the next, you would end with a perfect copy of the whole, indistinguishable from the original in every way, including the so-called “moral value” of the art itself. Nothing can transcend its smallest elements. CEO Nwabudike Morgan, “The Ethics of Greed”

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