"So, Mr. Vale, I see you're here for our total body replacement surgery."

"If that's what you call a brain transplant, then yes." He said nervously. He shifted a bit in his seat. He was tall, heavyset, right about sixty health that could be described as fair only under very generous circumstances.
"You do understand the implications, correct? That while we do match you to within a set range of parameters we do not it on the basis of attractiveness. I know that is why many people come here so I feel it necessary to explain that right away."

"Did I put that on the form?" He asked, annoyed.

"No, but this is a very common thing for people to expect, despite us being clear on our position from the start. That is why I am telling you now."

"Well, okay," he said, still a bit annoyed but less so now. "I get it. So, once a body meets those parameters, do I get it?"

"No." There was a polite smile on her face, but her voice was firm. "We do it on the basis of health and then wait time. With your range, it will take some time. I'd say at least eight months."

"Great!" He said, now more annoyed again. "For all the money..."

"Does not entitle you to skip the line." Her voice was firm now, no politeness. "You can go to a back alley place and skip to the front of the line but I guarantee you'll be spending the first twenty years with your new body in prison. Want that? Here everything we do is to the highest ethical and legal standards. Anywhere that allows what you want, a body on demand, will be illegal at best, a conspiracy to commit murder charge at worst. Want that?"

"No." He said. "I'm sorry, doctor. By the way, I didn't get your name."

"Apology accepted. Also, my name is Dr. Jonas Cooper. Also, unlike you, when I had mine done, let me tell you, I would have killed for a body as good as you have right now."

"Oh." He said, his voice now mellow. "That bad?"

"I can say it wasn't good. But, you will have no worries like that. In eight months, maybe as late as a year, you'll be good as new. Well, you know what I mean. Trust me. I've been a neurosurgeon for fifty-five years. I know what I'm about."
