From this comment it seems that you have an odd idea of how a person survives from moment to moment, as if they have a soul that needs to be transferred from one body to the other. That isn't how it works. If A1 survives as a later entity A2, it is necessary and sufficient that A1 and A2 have certain physical and psychological properties. No spark or soul needs to jump from A1 to A2, and they neither need to have any matter in common nor do they need to have any physical continuity, since these factors have no effect on experience.
I disagree with that last. It's commonly assumed, because with shut our eyes and imagine scenes and we can compose dialog in our heads; but I think it is a mistake to think these can happen independent of some underlying physics - even if it's not "primitive" physics (whatever that is) which Bruno dismisses.
