I thought you meant SG-1 replicators when i first read the topic title

No, The_Yell!  No Omega Particles for you!

"hmm still no progress on beaming me in and out of a bank vault....C'mon NASA wtf?"

apparently we're a decade away from dematerializing you with a laser scanner and then creating a life-size scale wire mobile of you on the space station

I gotta wonder how many times the teleporter delivered meat puppets instead of a crew

From what I've read, teleportation is 100% impossible, at least at our current level of understanding. What is possible (at least in theory) is to transfer all the data about, for example, arocalex - all his dna, age etc, and then recreate a body of the exact same specifications at the other end, and stick the consciousness in that copy. I dunno how this works with memories though

hook the telemetry up to a replicator

it'll work like a dot matrix printer, you'll come out looking like a crayon cartoon of yourself

Parts of consciousness can be copied from brain to brain, or rather transmitted into one brain from another. The problems arise when the recipient brain tries to make sense of the new data, but this should not be a problem for a "blank" brain.

So does this mean that we will now live forever by simply growing a new body every 10 years or so?
