Basie,
  I just looked at a weird book on the general topic of brain transplants:

  2000. Neural Transplantation: An Introduction. Freed, William J. Cambridge: 
  MIT Press.

  At the time that book was written, brain transplants didn't seem to be too 
  helpful or effective. But there was at least some evidence of transferring 
  memories in the animal experiments - strangely enough.

  Human brain cells have been transplanted to mice, so one could ask the reverse
  question- at what point does a mouse become a human? :)

have brain damage to areas that do not affect their humanity part. At what 
point do you become a pig?
