Right, but we know that people have severed their spinal cords and become
quads and paraplegics but maintained personality, consciousness and sense
of self to the best of our ability to determine -- all though they all
naturally suffer from depression when this happens.

Some motor skills, like "riding a bicycle" (to pick the most ironic) may
indeed lie further down.  They can all be relearned, I expect, or,
to present an interesting possibility, possibly be pre-programmed.

Ie. would you like the low level motor skills of a ballet dancer or
gymnast?  You would still have to learn how to connect your brain up to
issue the commands, but once you did, look what would come naturally
to you.   I don't want my old body, I want Adonis'.
