OK, I can play along.
If VR was a one-way trip, we'd need to entrust our lives to some organization which would protect and take care of our bodies. Perhaps they would be entitled to our bodily fluids and various organs if they could be replaced by machinery? Or to our entire bodies, if they could just cut our heads off but keep our brains alive.
But surely, some hippies/religious fanatics would want to destroy the whole VR, which would mean that there would be armed attacks on the organization's facilities. So all of us would be stored in a bunker underground, kept safe by the organization's military. We could also expect wars to happen, and the Organization to become sort of a separate country-like authority.
Though if that were to happen, an important issue would be whether the VR-goers are really going to entrust their lives to an organization which degrades them to heads in jars.
