Hey all,

I wrote a paper on this question and was just curious what actuall people think about this just as a possibility:

The Whole-Body Transplant. One’s entire brain is extracted and transplanted into the body of one’s identical twin, who has just suffered brain death and whose brain has been removed. One’s brain is appropriately connected to the nerves in ones twin’s body, so that after the operation a person is revived in one’s twin’s body who is fully psychologically continuous with oneself as one was before the operation.

The question is do "you" continue to exist. If you knew you had a fatal disease and were about to die but that your brain could be transplanted into the body of your "twin" would that preserve "you"?'


thoughts?
