If 'you' died going through this machine, noone would ever know because whatever comes out of chamber B will think it is 'you' and not be worried, whereas the true 'you' died in the vapourisation part.
If i went through, to all intents and purposes i'd be alive, but it wouldnt be 'me' (which could be demonstrated by the skipping of the vapourisation stage in the process, since no actual transportation is being conducted i assume this would be possible).

So no, i wouldn't use that particular one.
