John Locke's Metaphysical Theory Of Personal Identity

One counter argument that I would like to present for my position is John Locke’s metaphysical theory.

The environmental factors that affect the person while they are going through life cannot be transferred between two bodies accurately. We may be able to transfer the memories, but not the personality of a person which is also an essential part of what makes a human being.
