The way various hormones influence the brain alone makes it pretty clear to me already that you'd be a completely different person when taken out of your body, and I'm pretty sure that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Coming back as a brain in a vat certainly sounds awful.

But I would assume that bringing someone back would be tied to a physical or simulated body that provided a compatible context.

Not a bad assumption to solidify in your brain preservation/restoration contract.

The 'people' that undergo this first will experience the most incredible pain imaginable if we do not figure out a way to block such pain first.
