How Did Miller's Argument That Julia Survived

Miller’s arguments for Julia surviving are that after the operation of Julia and Mary, Julia survived even though she was in Mary’s body because the body remembered being Julia and didn’t know anything about Mary. This here is evidence to prove Miller’s argument against Weirob that a person cannot be simply identified as bodily identity. This argument by Miller claims that a body isn’t needed or required to identify continued existence but personal identity is which is the mind, memories, ideas, beliefs, and similar behavior for a person to continue living. This is a trait seemed to what happen after the operation where Julia in Mary’s body remembered being Julia and not Mary. The person had Julia’s memories, ideas, and behaviors while showing

Another argument Miller brought up to prove his point that Julia survived the accident is the circumstances of the case in hand that one person had two bodies. One body before the accident which was hers Julia’s and then another after the accident which is Mary’s body. The conclusion is then made that a person cannot be identified as a human body.

Argument and Reply: 666 An argument against Miller’s argument that Julia is the survivor of the operation is that the real survivor of the operation is Mary not Julia. Weirob discusses that personal identity is not what leads to continued existence or survival but bodily identity. Weirob argues that is just seemed that Mary’s body had memories of Julia’s life in the aftermath of the operation. Weirob argues that in reality Mary has survived but with some psychological consequences of the surgery of putting someone else’s brain in Mary’s body which Weirob described as a delusion of being someone else. Which meant that Mary had survived just with Julia’s brain in her body. Weirob believes that Mary is the survivor because the body seems to remember being Julia but has never had Julia’s experiences or conversations just an apparent memory and

It wouldn’t be correct to say that if Mary’s body had the original brain the she is Julia, but if Mary’s body had the duplicate then it’s not Julia. The problem is the body wouldn’t be able to tell which brain it had so picking one brain over the other would be wrong so in the end Mary is the one that survives and not Julia. Miller counters back on Weirob saying that personal identity allows one to know who they really are without having to look at their own bodies. Thus placing Julia’s brain inside Mary’s body it can tell it is Julia not by looking at her body because her body says otherwise but by the fact that it remembers being Julia, and has all of Julia’s memories, beliefs and ideas. Miller continues on with the fact that memories and personal psychological traits that a person has is what makes one unique not their body. He explains that if one day your fat or skinny or different color in skin as strange as it might seem and look there is nothing wrong with it.
