If body transplants become possible, would you make yourself unhealthy?


You might want to look unhealthy because you don't want to get murdered by someone looking for a healthy donor body.

We do not currently have this problem with donor organs as it requires a lot of specialized skill to achieve them. So this would only be a problem if anyone could casually transplant themselves into your body.

"Possible" does not mean "affordable for the 99.9%". Nor quick, nor safe, nor free of nasty complications, nor minimally-regulated, nor socially accepted, nor ...

And "his body donor was the victim of a shady murder" would probably not help on the "socially accepted" front.

If you buy a new car, do you immediately start gouging scratches in the doors?
