This is the sticking point between our views. You think without a body that a serial killer would no longer be a serial killer. While IMO the only part of a serial killer that commits crimes is the brain itself.

Why do you think desires came from the body? Do you think lust, hate, greed, and sadism cam from the pancreas? The liver? The kidneys?

Do you think hormones are the reason why crimes are committed? That If you take away the minor organs, the brain would become some kind of emotional logic unit?

I have no idea where you based that idea from. The brain is where criminal thoughts happen. Where higher orders to deceive happens. This has nothing to do with basic needs to eat or sleep. Rich people who have everything they ever need, still commit crimes of every sort from theft to violent crimes. Please, do explain why someone who gets the kicks seeing someone bleed out would suddenly become benign when becoming a brain in a box.
