    If I we’re to create a transporter like device, I’d have it copy my brain to a robot at the other end. Then when the robot was done I’d have the new memories added to my own.

    I’d possibly add some sort of death expectation to the robot mind too so it didn’t seek to continue living, maybe just an acceptance that it’d be used as a tool by possibly thousands of people.

    Might cause other problems, but at no point is the human broken into atoms.

      This sounds a lot like the book Kiln People (David Brin). The dittos are born knowing they have specific expiration dates and the original human can decide whether to add the ditto’s memories to their own.
