All of this isn't really necescary, because the body is made up of atoms
and molecules which are self-contained and keep track of their own 
electrons and nucleons.  So, you simly have to map the atoms and 
molecules (which from a QM perspective using tunelling microscopes, are
today macro-world objects), then you "simply" send this information and
reconstruct the object from ready-made atoms at the destination.  We
could even afford some errors on the molecular level.  This would result
in cancer, but we have to expect that riddle to be solved in 400 years,
(simply take a transport sickness pill!)

So, you see, transport is easy ;-))
