No. Entanglement not only involves quantum effects (which don't apply to humans in the same way as particles) but also links two particles which already exist. In teleportation the aim is to have one particle which exists in one place and then in another - but the two particles cannot exist at the same time (as they would have to to be entangled) because otherwise you have a duplicate of a pre-existing person and you're not teleporting them from one place to another).
