I get the argument, but I assign a high value to self-determination. Like Arthur Dent, I don't want my brain replaced (unless by choice), even if the new brain is programmed to be ok with being replaced. Which ending did you pick in Deus Ex 2? I felt guilty gunning down JC and his brother, but it seemed the least wrong (according to my preferences) thing to do.
A rather vacuous statement, no?
Isn't human nature funny* that we have qualms about behaving immorally in a sufficiently realistic simulation, yet can hear cold numbers about enormous real disutility (genocides, natural disasters, etc.) and feel nothing? That's speaking for myself incidentally, not casting aspersions on you.
*(where by "funny" I mean "designed by a blind idiot god", naturally)
I don't think you're being very fair to your new brain. Do you?
I haven't played Deus Ex 2, sorry.
