It's too confused of an issue. Imagine I asked you the question: "What (to you) is the self?" You could say a number of things, the body, the soul, psychological continuity(which is what it is to me). A metaphysical position here is really dependant upon what anyone regards as self (ie what they mean when they say the word.)
I hate it when people boil down real metaphysical problems to semantics. They usually aren't. So, believe me, I hate to say this: Identity, as a metaphysical problem is just that: a problem of semantics.
