and you replace the handle, and then later the head, do you have the same hammer?. What constitutes what something is, anyways?

physically it's a different hammer,since none of the orginal parts remain,however the concept remains that it's still the orginal hammer just with a couple parts changed.

same idea as if i got plastic surgery to look EXACTLY like you and studied and duplicated how you uniquely move and your manorisms, have i become you OR am i still Fred but just so happen to move,look,and act like you??
