Default Re: The Brain Transplant Argument

If you take out the processor of your computer, is the rest of your computer no longer still your computer? If you put that processor in another computer is it now the previous computer or a different computer? Who cares what you call it. It's one organ in a new body, and the old organs and the rest are in the old body. The whole "what is 'me' and what isn't 'me'" question is the busywork of shallow philosophers.
