Of course that would still be you. The tough question is whether even a different brain could still be you.

Well, we've established that a different brain, so to speak, would make one a different person (alzheimers, amnesia, etc).

I disagree with your reply about different bodies. IMO people who lose weight (such as gastric bypass) after having been obese for most of their life would change. Same with people who become severly physically handicapped. And in my previous example I still say if one received artifical legs and arms, one would be different.

By different, I mean a different meta outlook. I have no experience in these matters, so these are just guesses (similar to your guesses about religion).
