     "The exact duplication of every molecule will
      create a new human being."

Or something like that. I've never agreed with this in connection
with matter transportation. (Something like, is the Dr. McCoy on the
planet the same Dr. McCoy who left the ship?) 

Matter and energy are, after all, completely equivalent. ("Yeah" for
Albert Baby!) So, if McCoy's matter is converted to energy, radiated
elsewhere, and reconvert to matter...it's the same McCoy - assuming 
the matter matrix is recreated exactly.

Right? (please say yes, or I'll be crushed...)
