Assuming there is nothing like a "soul" which persists only in relation to the current cells in your brain, you aren't even the same person you were 2 seconds ago. It's literally no different for the transporter. The "you" of 2 seconds ago is no longer conscious either. Since consciousness is so mysterious, I think admitting our ignorance on the issue is probably the most reasonable approach atm.
