So following your logic the next generation of people will be too dumb to move their bodies and will basically be in a coma.  Nintendo will release a controller next generation that wires itself straight into the brain.  Midway through the next generation the population will be too dumb to use their brains and will die out.  Microsoft will release a contoller that detects your death, digs a hole, throws you in it, and covers it in concrete.  The end of man is near.

I was thinking that actually. It'd be the best way to make realistic games IMHO:

See?


I can see the Nintendo theme park now.  You actually are Mario and must rid the world of goomba scum. 

The ethical issues will be astrinomical though.  We already have 40 year men that pretend to be teenage girls online, just imagine that they buy a teenage girl surrogate.  Will sexual interaction with the surrogate be legal since the girl is actually a 40 year old man, or will it be illegal due to his appearance.  Also, will rapping a surrogate be illegal?  The victim could just disconnect from the surrogate so no physical harm is done, but no means no so who knows.
