Recently I have picked up an article off of one of the popular science sites on the Internet about how scientists have been able to 'teleport' information at the quantum size or lightspeed into atoms or more complex mass structures. A group was able to do it a very short distance last year and another group I think around half a meter this year.

Eventually we will be able to recreate organics on demand from a digital copy of ourselves and genes.
I am not against SENS as maybe it can lead to a breakthrough in making our bodies completely perpetual to the point of living forever, or at least more sturdy and disease proof, but then wouldn't we become more like a robot eventually or something radically different in order to sustain this?
Why not just recopy ourselves every 50 years or so to retain a more exact copy. I have also read some science fiction books that go this route as well.
I guess you can call it an alternative entropic science where the body has a tendency to die but would be renewed somehow without drastically changing the original form
I guess my question could also be how much will SNES change us away from our original DNA or will it be able to retain us properly? Does gene therapy do this and use our own DNA or are we adding others DNA to our body for the sake of tacking on a few more years to our life. Although it is good when people have severe problems from the outset.
Also, I know data is mass. Allot of futurist like to mix that up to pretend we are living somehow in this broken world and digital is so much better etc.
