For what reason in particular? Just because those people were conditioned that deliberately staying in a simulation would be bad for them or a weakness of character?

Can we define consciousness?

Alternatively, did you actually exist halt a second ago, or what existed was something else which memories were merged with your current sensorial input to become "you"?
It's the same old debate of questioning if it is possible to bath in the same river twice. What is the point of expecting completely non-destructive conversion from neurons to processors when the conversion from 1 second ago neurons to current neurons actually is destructive?

Did you know that both Neopets and Digimon were already invented, like, decades ago?

This is not a moral dilemma, in my opinion. Because the answer is obviously yes, since trying to modify the teleported being during the teleport risks causing more issues beyond the cancer.
On the other hand, if the medical knowledge evolves enough to make such "fix" possible, then it would probably be available in another way. Or at least, the healing teleport would be offered as a specialized kind of surgery, only applied in hospitals (if they still exist).

Not to mention the fact that if used on anything other than living beings, the "transport" part is pointless, only the "print" part matters.
Let's say you successfully teleport an orange once, disintegrating it in one side and rebuilding it on the other side. Since you already have the blueprint of an orange, why would you teleport any other orange? Just print again the orange you already teleported. As long as you have the required elements, you can always do that.

It wouldn't give a fuck.
AIs are neither superheroes nor gods, they are tools that only exist to learn how to do a job and then do it in the best way it can. They don't care about anything else.
Now, who would decide what job should said AI perform? And what job would it be? And who is going to train it? That's the real question.
