If I understand the question correctly, you're saying "what if you had a fatal desease, and your twin was brain dead at the same time" so you transfer your brain into his/hers-
A person is located in their brain, but the body you are transplanted into (assuming this works), wouldn't be used to the actions the brain has performed in the previous body.
As an example... lets say your twin wasn't athletic, but you were. In your mind you should be able to lift X weight, or do X miles in running. Once your body tells you you're unable, I believe the mind will suffer some sort of setback.
To complete the question, "you" continue to exsist, but with a different vessel to charge your actions. I've heard of several stories, where people get certain transplants, and take on properties of the person who previously had the organ. Now, the person is the same person they were (mostly) before they had the transplant, but they have characteristics of another individual. Assuming your whole body is changed, you would have the same personality, but completely different characteristics.
the "you" is then morphed into a "them", two personal traits mixed together. If you've seen Ghost in the Shell the outcome would be the same as in the movie. A unison between the bodily characteristics, and the personality of the mind. So No, you wouldn't be "you", you would be a "them", which makes up the new "you".
