My first instinct response: THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL HOLY SHIT. This is the kind of thing that I was thinking about when I was ten years old. There's an early Twilight Zone episode where an old man is transferred into a new body, but has to leave his old wife behind because they can only afford the one body. He's thrilled for the moment, but very quickly realizes he can't leave her behind to die alone and requests to go back into his old body. The level of precision necessary for this kind of surgery is top, top class, and reading about how they manage it would entertain me for days. Extremely fascinating.
My second thought is that this is entering into the realm of Man-made Horrors Beyond My Comprehension, and is ripe for horror movie scripts. Please give me recommendations if something like it already exists, even if it's lower budget and corny.
To the title, I think their usage of the phrase "body" instead of "person" is related to their weird reduction of everything into extremely material concepts. A "brown body" experiences life differently than a "White body," so everything fits into those cookie-cutter experiences. The concept of "person" is an immaterial one, hence why they're so dismissive of babies in the womb counting as people.
There is no known way to connect the brain and the spinal nerves. Something like this won't be possible anytime within our lifetimes. Besides, from what I've heard say, the spine is more than just an information bus to the brain and should be considered to be part of it. There are reactions that are processed in the spine.
