brain version of the body theory of personal identity
Suppose we adopt that version of the body view. If I get a liver transplant, so here I am and we take out my liver and we put Jones' liver inside. I've gotten a liver transplant. It's still me. Suppose we rip out my heart and put Jones' heart in here. I've gotten a heart transplant. It's still me. Suppose we rip out my lungs and put in Jones' lungs. I've gotten a lung transplant. It's still me. Suppose we rip out my brain, put in Jones' brain. Have I gotten a brain transplant? No. What's happened is that Jones has gotten a body transplant. Or, as we might put it, a torso transplant.

I want to say, as a fan of the brain theory, you get a brain transplant, what's really happened is somebody else has gotten a torso transplant. Follow the brain.
