It‘s clearly not as easy as you make it seem to be. First being a separate subject is already merely a concept. And second the idea of dying carries all kind of baggage that clearly does not exist when being transported. Like the fear of death or of not being able to continue and all of that.

Maybe, but being vaporized by an energy discharge is not merely a concept. > And second the idea of dying carries all kind of baggage that clearly does not exist when being transported "clearly does not exist" ... in the make-up TV show which need this prop. The "no baggage" is a bit like how people in cults can commit mass suicide - believing they're not really dying, but rather being transported into heaven or something along those lines.
