If the matter of the body wasn't disassembled during scanning and an identical copy could be created that would clearly be a second and separate instance of a person from the original. So this shows the newly created person is a separate instance. If the scanning is destructive it doesn't change anything, the first person is destroyed and a new, identical instance created, as above. Indistinguishable from the perspective of others but not the same continuous consciousness of the original. However the copy would insist it was of course.
