      Currently no, or if we can they are hiding the technology from us.

      I guess if you were going to teleport someone you would have to somehow break up all of their molecules and reform them in another location. The big question is would that person be the same person they were before they teleported? What do you think?

      We can’t teleport people or objects – but some scientists can teleport information about sub-atomic particles – maybe one day in the future we will be able to scale this up to whole people – but not for a very long time!
