    There’s a very sad scene like that in Altered Carbon. Humanity can freely swap their minds to other “shells”, but many are expensive or hard to come by. After a disaster, the government is obligated to provide replacement shells to victims, and mostly grabs unwanted spares. So, there’s a scene of a 6-year-old girl being revived in the body of a 70-year-old man, and panicking to her parents about her new fragile bones; both of whom are furious at the soldiers overseeing the transfer.
