Just as an addendum so what i'm saying actually makes sense:
Let's say you are the Captain Leeroy Jenkins and you get horribly murdered and shoved in a crate to rot.
When you are borged, you lose your identity and your free will. You are no longer the captain. You are the metal servant. You are Rho-18, or Beta-42, etc.
However, if you were put in a brainvat, you retain your identity as "Leeroy Jenkins Brain" and you have your free will, AND you have the ability to wear your captains hat. You are not bound to laws and you are, although a little less, the captain.
