So how do we deal with the problem of consciousness impermanence?
To be teleported via the induction of your physical matrix into a mechanised data bank and re-assembled at a distant location is no different, with respect to what your consciousness experiences, than losing consciousness in the process of sleep.
We die each night, we die every minute. A stranger awakens in your body and in your bed and in your clothes each morning. Never knowing that the memories they hold as accurate reflections of reality are nothing but the imprints of a decision making process that has turned to ash, and seen it born from them.
The nature of consciousness is such that any break in experiential sensation runs parallel to that of any other break. Meaning there is no such thing as consciousness permanence. Sleep and death are cognitively identical sets of stimuli.
Has anyone ever tackled the problem as to why we shouldn't just kill ourselves?

Wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have such a mystical view of consciousness, but admittedly it's hard not to.
Your consciousness is instantiated by a stimulated nervous structure. It is different every time but loosely the same enough throughout it's time to be named. There may be no thread connectecting all the iterations of yourself other than the history of your structure and I'm not quite sure why that isn't adequate anyway. Also would explain why consciousness is even
I don't see why you would kill yourself over it.

If we (as in, {I} as a {we}) handle it every moment of our lives, could we not handle it similarly in the potential events? Sure enough, a new encounter with the subject may introduce this problem from a new angle, but you certainly didn't offer us one. Yet. Perhaps it depends on the experience.
