We already phisically change completely every few years.
We still don't know if we stay we or become something different.
Experience says we are not the same person we were and we often feel disconnected from who we were or who people that know us think we should be.
From our perspective we just accept who we became and simply remember who we were, without being able to be that person ever again.

A lot of your cells do die and are replaced, sperm cells for example have a life span of 3 days, white blood cells about a year, but brain cells (especially relevant to the context of this thread) are with you for life.
