[Star Trek] The morality of teleporters

Lets say that I was stuck on a remote moon with nothing but a malfunctioning teleporter that every time I used it it would accidentally duplicate the signal and produce two of me. I don't have a replicator and I'm running out of food. Would it be okay if I used it to produce two of me and then we flipped a coin to decide who lived and who died to feed the other one? Also the killing myself over and over and constant splitting starts to drive me a little crazy so I keep a few copies of myself around to keep me company. When I am eventually rescued what happens? Would they arrest me for murder and cannibalism even though nobody technically disappeared? What would they do with all the copies? Would we all go to jail for an equal amount of time or would it be split between us? What about the guy we just made yesterday who although is an exact copy of me who did all of this, never technically participated in any of it? Also I'm pretending to be him and is there any way to differentiate between us?

According to Federation law, duplicates created by transporter malfunctions have the same rights as any naturally created individual. They are regarded as separate individuals, and are not held accountable for the actions of the original or any other copies.
