      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?

      How do you know how the wife will react to either scenario? Maybe look not where the man's identity falls in each scenario but how others react. I suspect that will tell you far more about personality, expectations, tolerance from a range of people.

      Well, now you come to mention it, I know a gay couple who suffered the head trauma scenario and it’s exactly how the partner reacted.

          As Fodo has said, that tells you only about that couple. I know more than one couple where one partner has suffered brain injury, and, amazingly, and with heartbreaking loyalty & love & dignity, their partner has stood by them.

          OK, well assuming that they're treating each other well, the point of your anecdote seems to be pretty much a semantic one, then.

          A man wakes up one morning, insists he cannot remember who he is. He is subjected to various psychological tests by experts and they cannot prove he is lying. His personality is now different. He asks to be released from prison, hes not the man who killed his wife and family.

          Would you release him purely on the basis of his own claim that he is a different person?

          Um... I don't think UK CJS would... but that question's probably for Brian.

          But that's just anecdotal. Many people stick with partners through terrible dementia and can't bear for them to be taken to a home. Others leave at first sign of illness. Depends on personalities and strength of relationship
