Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories?

  Maybe they just forgot they were dead. 🤷‍♂️

  This sounds more like a ship of Theseus style question

  Is the person with amnesia still the same “person”. I assume the question would also need to enforce the type/extent of the amnesia
