Is the person who goes in a transporter the same one who comes out?!
Question: In Star Trek lets say Seven of Nine, or T'pol or Diana Troi go in a transporter, and get beamed to another ship or something is it the same person, or a copy with the same info and the original is destroyed, because if so I would refuse.

In some of the trek books, the earlier transporters did exactly what you mentioned. Person A gets scanned then it makes copy B, the person A gets destroyed. Zefram Cochran was worried about that in the book "Federation". The later transporters were more sophisicated. But since none of it was ever seen on TV or Trek movie, most fans would say that it works like it is supposed to.
ASK WILLIAM SHATNER, HE'LL KNOW
molecular transportation as in star trek (any series) beams the person to a landing site and that same person exits the transporter
The transporter disassembles the person (or thing) on a molecular level, sends those molecules through space, and reassembles them on the other end. No copy.
