Xen has made self brain transplants much more forgiving. You just
open the patient up as a loopback filesystem and graft on the
new cerebral cortex onto the brain stem and the subject doesn't
even realise anything has changed. Much better than the bad old
days of self-surgey using sashroot scalpel where even the slightest
slip left one unable to even drool, let alone undo that fatal slip.

Cheers,
