Something interesting, has anybody else consdiered?


Some of the young people working for that secret body switching corporation, like the African American doctor who looked about 19 telling Ben Kingsley that the medication was to "stop his heart" or the 2 guys in business suits he kills after pretending to be the assassin guy during the failed (thanks to the metal ruining the magnetism) mind transfer, heck even the "technician" guy he chose not to kill out of mercy near the end. They all could have been body transfers themselves.

That barely allowed to buy beer young man who stopped his heart before the mind transfer could be a seventy seven year old Chinese person for all I know.

What a great way to have eternal loyalty from your servants? If they run off they will eventually grow old and die but if they stay with you and obey all of your orders you will give them a new body when they need it? Its almost a new kind of slavery but in real life slavery the slave will eventually earn their freedom by dying.

well the professor spelled this concept flat out when talking about one of them.

But you still cannot tell who was a body transfer or who was still in their "original body".

Sure you can. Just look for the tattoo dots inside their lower eyelid.
