As technology advances, a replicant (as well as those of us who have not died) will have a variety of bodies and types of bodies to choose from. Eventually replicants may even be housed in cybernetically augmented biological bodies grown from the DNA of the original person (assuming it can be found). And once nanotechnology allows molecular-scale engineering, we’ll be able to create vastly more advanced artificial bodies than what biology allows. By that point reanimated people will likely transcend the uncanny valley, at least for many of those who interact with them.
