transfer themselves to the clone and gain immortality.
Based on cybertechnology I believe that it's possible. If they can
replace your torso and limbs with cyberware, they can transplant your
brain to another body.
However, you haven't reversed the aging process of the brain. If a
person does this at the age of 40, they still have a 40 year old
brain. They could replace thier body every 20 years but their brain
would continue to age.
I don't know how long a brain will live under these circumstances,
but I would guess that it'd give out at around 120 years.
Of course this won't stop the really rich from living the life of a
20 year old :)
