Teleportation has that issue of "the reprinted is not the original" - ironically, turning someone into light and then re-assembling them into matter seems closer to "true sci-fi" teleportation. Of course, it still wouldn't be the same person since you essentially converted all the constituents, kind of like melting down a sword and reforging.
