Of course a transporter needs to slice you up to make a pattern which is sent via the beam and a new "you" is assembled from that pattern when you arrive.
Of course to avoid any of that social complication associated with creating clones of yourself, you are killed and disposed of, and the new "you" allowed to continue.
There was a reason that the Dr would always prefer the shuttle.
