No; I, pre-duplication, exist in a single body, and will not post-duplication have my consciousness transferred over to run in two. There will just be an identical copy. If the original body dies, one of me will also die.
The causal relationship between me and myself tomorrow is not the same is the causal relationship between me and my duplicate tomorrow, because one of those is a physical object which has continuity over time and one of those is a similar physical object which was instantiated de novo in a different location when the teleporter was run.
The mind is not a program which runs on the meat computer of the brain and could in principle be transferred to a thumb drive if we worked out the format conversions; the mind is the meat of the brain.
