On the third night Weirob’s argument is based off of Cohen’s notion. This time
Cohen begins with another challenge to the body principle. Stating what if ones brain was transplanted into another person’s body or should we say another body hooked up to one’s brain? Based off the Julia North case, by replacing ones brain in a human body, however; the main problem is would we identify the survivor with the original brain donor or with the original body donor. While Cohen and Miller believe the one who is the survivor is the brain donor in the new body. They make their case with a weak argument saying that most “people including the supreme courts would naturally agree that the concept of concept of personal identity should follow brain identity”.
