I just thought of a little thought experiment.
Let's say you have the option to be revived after you die. Same body, just... you die and you come back. Pretty convenient, right?
What if you have the same opton to be revived but you loose... one day, one month, one year of your memories. Still, pretty cool, right? You get to yet live.
But what if your body gets completly destroyed and your consciousness gets placed in a completely different body? The end result is the same as the same other 2 cases. Why would you be bothered by the difference in process if the reseult is the same? I see two options - we either place too much emphasis on the continuuity of our body or the continuiti is actually an important aspect of living - maybe because of the power of natural habbit, nature doesn't usually reconstruct what it destroys.
