I spend large chunks of my day wrestling with the concept of persona and the definition of self. Am I a Res Cogitans (a thinking thing) or a Res Corporealis (a bodily thing)?
When I die am I still me? Is the body me? If I am not defined by my body, then if I were to have my consciousness planted into another body, would it be me?
If I become a reanimated corpse, am I still me?
