What role does our brain play in defining us as humans?
Is the brain all that determines who we are? Personality, behaviour, etc... If we copy a person atom-per-atom would the new person be the exact same as the old one? What if we just transfer the brain from one person to another... would that make the new person think and behave the same way as the old one?
Or do you believe in some sort of spirituality? Do you think that it's not the brain that defines us but the soul?

Discuss.

Oh, and spam lite.
