Would we be the same person in a new body? Is a brain swap possible?

I want some first thought votes and I will discuss further.

Your brain would have to relearn so much as to be unrecognizable from pretransplant. The incredible intricacies of the myriad of connections to rehookup would make cloning a more economical prospect. Plus if there truly is a soul where does it reside?

This is a weird thread. I like my brain. I like where it is. I can't think of anyone I'd like to swap with and I can't think of anyone who would want to swap with me. Does this mean I'm happy?

What I want to know is when the soul of an embryo splits in two, so as to form identical twins.

we think of the mind as being just the brain. Don't really believe that. The body has a mind of its own too in a way. If you ever done TAI_CHI you would understand. or the mind as a whole involves the body. But if it could work to change brains , some of us would get to trade up and others would be better off with nothing , knowing the alternative.

I would like to have my brain transplaneted into the body of one smokin' hot babe.
Knowing what I know now with that body I could have 'mucho funno' Whooo Hooo!
