[Star Trek] Does the transporter actually kill and copy you every time you use it?

I know a lot of people say this is true, but I'm not sure. The impression I got was that it deconstructs a target, transmits the particles, and then meticulously puts every particle back in the exact same place, with the end result being the original person. But then again, it's been awhile since I watched the show. Which is it?

No one dies.  There's even an episode that shows that people are still fully conscious during transport and can even capable of interacting with other transported things.  Barclay uses this to actually grab on to people lost during transport and pull them back into physical form.  The resulting people were also fully alive and conscious the entire time.
