I hope that was sarcasm.
Not at all. The only way any person could have been someone else is if the self is separate in some way from the body. Since most people here don't believe this, then the OP might as well be "Why isn't this orange an apple?" It isn't an apple because it isn't an apple, and we don't question it because there's no innate possibility for an orange to be anything but what it is. Same for people, unless you believe in a soul.
