So that could neatly solve the philosophical teleportation problem? Ie if you teleport and the original isn’t destroyed. Which one are you?

  But if they destroy you and recreate you, are you still alive or die in the process?

    Not really any different than going under general anesthesia.

      For the recreated you, sure.

      Or sleeping.

        Or a rough Friday night out.

    If you're entangled before you're destroyed have you really been destroyed?

        Not the same as entanglement means you can’t have both parts at the same time, you just need to decide which one you’re gonna “use” while the other is destroyed.

  This problem is only a problem if you assume you exist in some persistent sense, rather than being a continuously-arising emergent phenomenon of your physiology. As for whether the no-cloning theorem informs this, there isn't any reason to believe consciousness is related to quantum mechanics.
