I've always loved and hated the Ship of Theseus. Applied here it's very tricky but I feel like most people's gut reaction is that it's the same person (that's what I would think too). But once their brain is replaced, are they the same person? I'm tempted to say no. One of the points of the Ship of Theseus is basically "at what point is it a new ship, if ever?" and I feel like that's a bit more simple here with the brain. Now, without replacing the brain... I'd say they're the same person but not in the same body. However, at what point does the body become not the same any more? That's still a tricky one.
It's very similar to the idea of a cyborg, really
Sorry I kinda rambled there

I agree that when the brain is replaced, it stops being the same person in the general sense. But thinking again, what if the body parts are actually parts of the same person. If your brain is cloned and your original brain is replaced with the cloned brain, are you then the same person or an another version of you?

I would love to sleep throughout the winter/rainy season if I could.
