If you suffer a brain injury, you will still be you. You will be you with a brain injury. Do you also believe that you become a different being if you cut your foot? After all, your appearance would change because of the scar. A brain injury leaves a scar as well. The scar is more pronounced than the one on your foot, but it is nothing more than a scar none the less.

According to loved ones viewing you with damaged or destroyed brain, you nolonger are you, and the mourning process begins. Why would this process begin if you were still you?

Continue, my friend.



The existance of the Soul has been debated for thousands of years, hasn't it?

And, I would think it could be debated that you can become 'un personed' by horrendous trauma to the brain. Wouldn't you?

However the soul is not proven, do you recognize its possibility?
YOU are different with brain damage, you are still you, you are different.

An apple that tastes like an orange is still an apple.
