If every bit of your body could be perfectly scanned and replicated, in what ways would the replica still be you?

So then it wouldn't be you at all

Different engine, the shell just has the same appearance

Not quite, imo. If its truly a perfect replica, to other people it would be indistinguishable from the original you. It would act the same way, have the exact same physical appearance, character traits, memories, quirks, and thought processes. The only minor difference is that it would have a separate, functionally identical consciousness to your original one.

This reminds me of the TNG episode with Riker's double from a transporter mishap. Strange to think that the Riker we knew was actually a copy.

Every teleport in Star Trek does this. Literally thousands dead

I don't think that's how it works. They're deconstructed but the same molecules are transported through subspace or whatever and reassembled, so it's still physically the same person.

To further elaborate on my post about the Doctor.

In Doctor Who, the Doctor was constantly killed and replicated in that same fashion over the course of 5 billion years and eventually one copy escaped. He went through billions of copies.

The copy that escaped is still the current Doctor.
