you cannot teleport in one indivisible operation.

quantum entanglement occurs at the quantum scale, teleportation of a person
requires classical data. it potentially possible to entagle atoms, however
anything that would do that would require the knowledge of the relative
positioning of the atoms in the human body.

a machine then would need to know the spatial positioning of an appreciable
percentage(as close to a 100% as can be achieved) of the atoms for a
successful transportation, otherwise you could end up in hassle - substances
normally stopped by the blood/brain barrier being present in the brain
suddenly wouldnt be a healthy thing.

the possibility of large scale quantum effects has been mooted, however up
to yet the largest known entity to have a quantum effect on it is a c60
buckyball which was shown to follow the wave/particle effect in a
double-slit experiment (i had to use a bloody laser, bah!) - however with
this the experiment had to be run isolated and chilled. an experiment will
be done sometime next year to test this out involving cooper pairs(the
electron pairing behind superconductivity), mail me offlist if you want some
info about it.

so in the end, yes you transmitting a set of instructions to build
something - the entanglement takes care of the information exchange of the
atoms but provides no data on how said atoms are to go together. its more
like being given a load of bricks, wood, etc. instead of a house and being
expected to reconstruct your house - without a blueprint you're going to be
screwed.

It doesn't matter!

You're still trying to suggest that teleportation is akin to producing the
works of Shakespeare with that legendary team of monkeys, and that's
simply incorrect.

The task isn't to randomly assemble anything, but use the properties of
quantum entanglement to scan, encode and reproduce all in one indivisible
operation. It's not the same as transmitting a set of instructions to
build something.
