Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not?

You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?

To fully understand my question, you need to understand the safety concerns regarding teleporters as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI

::: spoiler spoiler I wouldn't, because the person that reappears aint me, its a fucking clone. Teleporters are murder machines. Star Trek is a silent massacre! :::

Only if there is a DHD on both sides. I don’t want some in-house built crap that ignores the failsafes that the original builders put in place

Even then, you have pretty much no way of knowing if there’s an iris. So it’s all fun and games until SLAM, all your atoms gets squished into metal.

The Iris always seemed like a bad idea to me, what if the sg team lost their code thing and had to leave a planet in am emergency?
