Star trek teleportation is a suicide booth, but wormholes can do the same thing. Just bend space to bring two points together, step through the hole and unbend. Teleportation without disassembly.

Did you not see my earlier comment about tidal spaghettification?

Sure there's no disassembly but nothing living can survive that deformation and same with most materials. Basically the only thing you can send through wormholes are raw materials or anything you don't mind ending up seven hundred times longer and commensurately thinner.
