Assuming that's even possible (how are those simulated brains going? As far as I can tell, we're up to 0.15% of a rat's brain), is a human consciousness separated from its biological construct still a human consciousness?
We're well out of the realm of science into science fiction, but I feel it's a valid question to ask - all of our consciousnesses have developed in ape bodies adapted for the savanna, with a bunch of survival related traits and sub-processes.
If we remove our "selves" from our bodies, are we still us?
