And you have the teleporter murder problem. One's identity is entirely contained in the neural architecture. So if you scan it, reconstruct it elsewhere with no continuity, and destroy the original, are you committing murder? You'd be doing exactly that to two different people. And how the hell, as written, could it not affect aura and semblance? Those are intrinsically tied to identity and, being physical phenomena, are thus attached to the brain, its architecture, and the resulting neural net.
