Everybody worried about the existential dread of a teleporter disassembling your particles and reassembling particals into your shape far away (and possibly malfunctioning). Did you die and now someone else is living your life?

There's no need to be scared of such things, not even to be scared of an android living the rest of your life on your behalf, as this is already what happens every night when you go to sleep and in the morning someone else has to wake up and live your next day.

To some degree, although I think the physical continuity matters.

if it helps you sleep at night, it's probably helping whoever wakes up as you tomorrow, too.

There is no reason to think sleep is important. You could just as easily say I become a different person between one thought and the next.
