In my philosophy class, we are talking about if a person is still the same person if they have a brain transplant. I have an uncle who just had a stroke, and his brain is damaged, but his body is still functioning pretty well. I started to think about what would happen if he were to have a brain transplant. At first, I was all for it. I was like he’ll get to live! Then, I started to wonder would it still be him since he would have a different brain. I personally do not know whether he would be the same person. I know it would be him physically, but I’m not sure about mentally. This discussion in our philosophy class really got me to think about who my uncle would be if he received a brain transplant.
