stupid question but its annoying me too much

If a person X's brain is transplanted into person Y's body, does person Y become person X?

I know that the mind is distinct from the brain but where does the physical end and the spiritual begin?

Do you have a specific person in mind?

What about this dilemna:

That gives new meaning to James 1:8---

I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it just came to mind when the question was asked.

This question reminds me of a line from Star Trek. The episode was called SPOCK'S BRAIN.

"Brain...and brain...what is brain? We know nothing of brain!"
