    Scenario 1: man is caught in a terrible fire, is permanently scarred so as to be totally unrecognisable but is unaffected psychologically. Ask his wife "is this the same man as before the fire?" and she would say "of course he is. He's the same man - he just looks different.

        Scenario 2: man suffers severe head trauma, his wound heals but his personality has completely changed & he suffers permanent memory loss of everything before the accident. Ask his wife and she will say: "He's not the man I married. Everything about him has changed."

        Where does a person's true identity lie - in their mind or their body?

        Again, brilliant description of personality & individual differences. But, again, how does a state legislate based on personality? Biological reality? Tangible fact. Identity? Personal & ever-shifting.

        What happens to our bodies also affects our minds and vice versa. In the first scenario he would also be affected psychologically. In the second, it would also affect the way he presented to people. And any change can affect a relationship.

        Body and mind aren't so easily separated, it's more complex than that.

        I'd also say that we need self acceptance of both our psychological make up, and our bodies to feel at home in who we are. I suspect very few of us feel that comfortable with our entire identity.

        Both. Anyone who has had any physical impairment could tell you that it changes how you feel about yourself. But it's also individual - someone may be more linked to their mind/feelings. Others to their physical being.
