Hemispherectomy?

[ignoramus]

This is the procedure where they remove half your brain as a last resort in order to stop seizures. Usually in very young kids only while the brain is plastic enough to adapt and compensate.

Let's say they perfect spinal cord connection operations sometime in the near future. I go to some seedy Korean basement and get half my brain carefully removed and inserted in a "fresh" coma victim who's body mysteriously disappeared from the hospital. Why not? I want to try to live forever? Each to their own.

Now, let's just gloss over the technical logistics for the sake of brevity. (This is in the "philosophy" section.)

Now let's discuss who is me and why. And what does "me" even mean? Theists, do we both have a "full" soul each?
Or does the soul live in the heart? (Clueless atheist does not know where the Holy supernatural divine stuff get installed in the human body)
