Can We Survive A Brain Transfer ?

• If personal identity was identity of brain, then you would survive in a different body if your brain is transplanted into it
  

• Dave and Sam think this is obvious. The brain theory preserves all the good features of psychological continuity, guarantees the right causal relations, and also avoids the duplication problems
  

• psychological characteristics are what we really care about, so it is important that a theory of personal identity reflect this fact.
  

• Suppose your brain was scanned and the structure of your brain was reproduced in another body.
  

• The person in this body would have your memories etc, and would have a brain structurally identical to yours.
  

• This might be what would happen in teleportation cases.
  

• If you are dying and your brain is scanned, would you survive in the new body?
  

• But what if you are not dying or did not die?
  

• The problems of duplication re-emerge
