Wait, wouldn't Teleportation work without the whole 'dying on one end' thing if they were somehow able to transmit the brain/brainwaves in a sort of secure...beam? It'll happen, just you watch.
That's all part of recording (and recreating) the quantam state of the body's atoms. We're all just a collection of chemical reactions, after all.

I read a Stephen King short story once where they beat the problem of teleportation by keeping everyone unconscious throughout the process. One kid doesn't inhale the sleep gas and his consciousness moves through space time and out the other end before he wakes up. Then claws his eyes out.

It was charming really.
But... but... how does your consciousness work when your brain has been split in to its component atoms?
