Even though I believe in the soul, somehow the bridge connecting soul to body seems to be in the brain. So I'm gonna go with the brain. I think it doesn't matter how many limbs or organs you get replaced, so long as your brain is the original one. As for hypothetical consciousness-transfers into artificial receptacles...I'll grapple with that one when it looks a little more possible.
