I think the brain defines the thing while it thinks it is what it is. A totally artificial body with a human brain in it, if the brain still thought (knew?) it was human, should qualify.
Qualifying: We ain't there yet. Joints, limbs, even hearts and external organs like dialysis machines leave the rest of this fantasy for the future.
Ever read "Jack the Bodiless"?
