Not many people know about this (unless you are following the sciences of theoretical physics), but there is a method of teleportation currently possible with our level of technology. It is called Quantum Teleportation. Here's how it works:
Basically, we would need to make a device which takes a quantum particle and scans it. After being scanned, it would need to be destroyed in order to get a few of the final measurements, then all you need to do is transmit that information and "print" the original particle upon another one. Technically this isn't teleportation, but for quantum particles and our level of technology, it may as well be.
There are a lot of strings attached to this though, so if you want to take a dive into some theoretical physics and morality issues, lets go.

Super interesting! I believe that the outside world would see no difference in the actual transporting of people or other organic matter. The people/animals transported would literally be exact copies of their previous counterparts. However, the actual person would cease to exist and on a religious standpoint would, ultimately, mean they are dead or their soul has been removed. Even though it may be a copy it would be just like having a identical twin. They may look the same and have similar characteristics, but when it comes down to it, it is a whole other person. The quantum level is full of neat stuff like this. If anyone wants to add or rebuke my point or fact feel free!

I like the thought that is going on here but I believe the only way for true teleportation to work is if we are able to generate and contain the power of a wormhole and even then we would not be able to choose the destination we would want to get to.

Kerrigan, wormholes are science fiction, they don't actually exist. But, then again, much of theoretical physics can be considered science fiction.
