That's ignoring how if you rebuild Shepard's brain, it's still a brand new brain (or partially brand new brain), which means it still isn't going to be the same person. Unless Wilson did some freaky magic to bring Shepard's soul back from the Great Beyond.
So, yeah - ME2-ME3 Kaidan resumed romance (that wasn't started from scratch) has majorly unpleasant implications to me. But that's just me, so... 
That's the thing if we start getting any deeper into this we start getting into the meta physical and that can get into a very lengthy debate on what exactly constitutes a soul and so on.. In my own head I meta gamed it that Shepard's soul was asked to go back to her 'body' by some sort of spirit being (angel or whatever you may believe in) otherwise the thing Cerberus would have revived would have been some sort of zombie Shepard thing.
I think we can easily have very different ways of explaining it.
Let's just be completely honest with ourselves ladies and gents. The whole resurrecting Shepard via Lazarus project is nothing short of Deux Ex Machina. That's it. There's no '
surprise! Your a clone!' plot twist waiting around the corner. And I'll be pretty damn surprised if Casey does pull this out of thin air, but I find it highly unlikely. Both Miranda and Jacob straight out told Shepard that cloning was not an option because of the severe ramifications that tended to occur during cloning. (altered personality being the main issue) Tim wanted Shepard whole and sane and by god and any other beneficient spirit in the ME universe, that's what he bloody got. Miranda's too much of a perfectionist to allow for such sloppy work and there's no way they'd spend 2 years and six day's
cloning Shepard.
And even if you did somehow clone them, how would you explain the memories? That's the only part I can't quite figure out. As far as I know you can't implant memories unless a Reaper is indoctrinating you as shown on the sidequest with the prothean artifact in ME2. I do however share your views on the regenerating the brain part though. Surely, some form of damage had to be done? Memory loss even? But again, Deux Ex Machina.
I'm too busy sh*tting bricks thinking that Shepard's been made into something like Saren.

Or at least, been given the potential to become like Saren. Do not want!!
These comments aren't meant to inflame or put down either by the way-it's just a state of opinion on my part. Feel free to retaliate. *hides*
