The general rule of thumb for advantages is "it does what it specifically says it does".
  • Because that's what the advantage says it does.
  • It's not clear that it can be. Depends on body features, really.
  • The advantage does not say 'no ill effects'. In fact, if you don't have Uploading, you're permanently stuck wherever they stored you; it's basically the ability to case 'soul jar' via computer programming.
