In reality, brains require significant infrastructure, and that technology might not exist in this fictionalized world; it would, after all, be on a par with just curing her body. Also, in reality, the problem of duplicating minds in software is much further from solution than journalists and other hucksters would have us believe, and that technology might not exist in this fictionalized world.

But the story might wave-away such issues, and offer us the mother's brain transplanted or mind duplicated in the next or last chapter.

indeed, the technology to capture the inputs and outputs of higher-order brain function (to the nerves and sensory organs) and redirecting those signals to a secondary body (and back again) would likely be much more technically feasible than the creation of hardware or software capable of hosting consciousness, as well as the technology required to transfer a mind from an existing brain to that platform.

We can already map neural signals to electronic inputs, its been shown on TED before. But conscious brain preservation is still in the realm of scifi and accidental horror.

The problem with trying is all the failures that would involve minds cut off from all sensory inputs and not knowing if the person is going insane or just unconscious.

Adding yogurt and ice cream to the pancake mix I've never heard of that. Might try it next time.
