What if there is a discontinuity, such during an anaesthetic used for cardiac surgery? One could claim that after such a procedure, the patient is actually a different person who believes he is the same person. Is that a meaningful claim? As far as O’m concerned, if I have the same memories and personality, I feel that I’m the same person, and everyone else feels I’m the same person, then I am the same person. > -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
