Here's the clincher.
1. Suppose I erase my body's memories after. Do I go to jail?
Unless there is some magic stuff involved in identity, you just committed suicide. How
about you commit a crime yesterday then erase your memory of the last year (say) ? Only
the 'psychopathic tendencies' argument holds water then, but it would have held equally
well a year earlier and wasn't acted on (we assume).
And quite aside from "pyschopathic tendencies" society imposes punishments as deterrent as
well as to satisfy sentiments for retribution. Having all your memories erased might be
deterrent enough, but just having last year's or yesterday's probably wouldn't.
