Firstly, I don't think scanning and simulating a brain is simple.

By reanimation do you mean "simply" thawing and nano-repairing a brain
and implanting it in a cloned body? Or would a nano-constructed
replica from a scan qualify? The latter, of course, would "just" be a
copy.

Personally, I don't care a whole lot about the platform on which my
consciousness is running, as long as it *is* running.
