Does that matter? If you poke that person, won't they still hurt regardless of who they are?

  That seems irrelevant. I didn't say they weren't a person, I said it seems unlikely they're the same person. You seem to be trying to ascribe some sort of ill intent or meaning to my question when there was none.

    No ill intent ascribed. What I mean is that it'd still be an immense suffering regardless of whether you'd still be you or not.

      Yes but if it's not you anymore you can't connect empathically with the future you who doesn't know who they are anymore. It's a relief in a way but also scary at the same time. I've seen a guy in his early 40s afflicted with earl onset dementia and alzheimer and he was loosing it little by little every day and it was terrifying. At some point he stopped knowing who he was and he seemed peaceful. He also could not communicate, care for himself, I don't think he couldn't even feel pain anymore.
