In addition, the episode Affection from the second season of Stand Alone Complex they talked about that it was hard to move the body and use fine motor skills when transferred into one of these prosthetic bodies and that took years to do.
That was one of the first bodies though They were pretty much current prosthetic arm technology modified for the whole body, responding to electrical impulses from the cyberbrain rather than muscle twitching in the shoulder.
Now, the question then becomes, would I take my chances with the first prosthetic bodies? Probably not.
Would I take my chances with the first commercial cyberbrains?
I would be in line for the ******** prototype.
If there is one thing I do not want to do, it is die! If I can hold that off by being mind-scanned into a small brain shaped box, sure.

but people do have to die sometime because that is how life is.
That is how life is now. That is most certainly not how life should be.
The question for you to justify that is: Why should anyone die?
I am sure the only conscionable answer is: One should only die when one can no longer prevent oneself from doing harm to society.
Old age is not a reason to die. It is a means. A means that I certainly do not look forward to suffering.
