It really DOES have the propensity to devolve into philosophy. I say devolve because I'm not a huge fan of philosophy. *lol*
I dunno. Hormonal glands do determine an individual in many ways but from my perspective anyway, a person is not the sum of their memories and emotions and personality but rather just their simple awareness. If their awareness may go that they forget who they once were, do they still change? No, the subjective point of view from that entity still exists. And if you retain your memories, then even more so are you yourself. The collective experiences and emotions are just pieces and add-ons to the whole. After all, I was me when I was still an infant incapable of rendering memory or personality, wasn't I?
Oh boy it is getting into philosophy. D: What have I done?!
