[Technology] Mortality Deferred

[Ace Dreamer]

Here are my opinions:

Transference to another (artifical) body - Given that this has already happened (Wave Convoy being the primary example, although the victims of the Catgirlling Machine may also qualify), and that mind accessing tech exists...

I could make a good case that what the Catgirling Machine does is kill someone, and make a new living being out of their remains (which may include their memories).  So, you die.  And are 'reincarnated'.  That would make sense of why it is a modified "Julien Friez" machine, as that makes a human out of non-living ingredients.
Someone trying to make a "Weapon X" creation process like that is even more monstrous than the normal way of looking at the CGM.  This also explains how the "one biomod" rule is broken - maybe you could write the rule "one biomod per lifespan"...
