Then maybe you haven't watched or read enough sci-fi, a scanned consciousness or a disembodied brain in a jar is like a common sci-fi trope about losing all agency and being at the mercy of evil people. I'd rather be dead than end up alive but with no agency and maybe no possibility of death. Read the short story Lena by Qntm or watch Pantheon TV show
