Your brain and soul stays the same. But you grow up in Joe's body. You see everything Joe saw. You feel what Joe felt. You have the same family as Joe. You grow up in the same house. As a baby, you're raised in the same crib that Joe was in. Your first sight is the same sight as Joe's first sight. Same height, weight, eye color, everything.

I think some people misunderstood the OP. If you switch genetic factors AND environmental factors, what else is there?
Say you were switched with person from another country, you wouldn't even speak the same language, you'd probably be a different religion...etc You'd be who that person was going to be.

Not exactly, since you still have your brain which is genetically different from Joe's.

That was my first question, I mentioned that my case was true if you also had Joe's brain.
If you still kept your own brain, well Jay already answered
Jay520 said: Exactly. Your brain uses the data it's given (which you don't control) and your brain processes that data (which you also don't control). You aren't controlling anything about yourself. You're just the focus of your environment. |
In neither case do you have "free will". Everything that you do and everything that you are, none of it is in your control and you were never "free" to choose.
