Would you dare use people who were clinically brain-dead, and being kept alive by a life support machine Who'd donated their bodies to medical science? Are we heading into dystopian areas here?

Edit: Someone is going to obtain and try a Stage 2 Squish-bot, at some point, as that's a brain-dead (temporary) clone equivalent, and definitely available by 2014: http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Squish-bot

I suspect using anything other than a living, self-aware human would produce a ... shall we say "sub-optimal" ... catgirl.

Few folks grok enough of what the wave does to have strongly reproducable results.Effectively, the boskones are working harder to make the "tube" and run the program that makes a catgirl than to make all of the consoles that run the program identical.At least one CGM console captured by GJ was the printed circuit boards from a hundred pocket calculators wired to a Mundane Soviet-era portable B&W TV and a Chinese manual typewriter. Another was a Commodore 64 and a clearance rack CRT monitor. Etc etc.
