You would never be able transplant the brain, and it's still subject to the mutations and telomeres. The only way would be to transplant the personality Altered Carbon style or completely cure brain cancer.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe you could pull off two or three cycles without hotswapping the brain, but eventually you'd have to rejuvenate yourself by just teach everything you know to one of your clones.

...which sounds an awful lot like just having children. 🙃

I wonder if it would be possible to transplant to transplant the brain in pieces over several cycles? That way the brain could eventually be replaced by dupli-babies. Memory might become problematic though.
