    • and Rovan, C, "Critical Notice of Peter Unger's 'Identity, Consciousness, and Value'," Canadian Journal of Philosophy 24 (1994); 119-34. Others have also questioned brain-transplant cases on the ground that identity is not what matters to us. For example, Olson argues that people may be metaphysically misled by their quasi-prudential concern for the recipient of their cerebrum-based psychology to think that they would have switched bodies when their cerebrums have (The Human Animal, [cited in n. 1, above]).

    • Human Being: The Boundaries of the Concept
    • Summer
    • The concept 'permanent' is not easy to define. We can avoid some confusion, though, if we distinguish between a metaphysical and an epistemic understanding of this term. Metaphysically, permanent organismic discontinuity for an organism occurs when in fact the organism is no longer able to coordinate its life processes. Epistemically, though, we can of course be wrong about when this point has occurred for an organism. For a further discussion of this concept, see Becker, L. "Human Being: The Boundaries of the Concept," Philosophy and Public Affairs 4:4 (Summer, 1975); 334-59;

    • One might argue that this is only a contingent truth, since, for example, in some other possible worlds, it is conceivable that the second head could just be an odd growth, or someone could genetically engineer an entity with two heads. I shall consider the genetic-engineering case shortly. Regarding the odd-growth scenario, this would not immediately show that there is only one organism. Pregnancy, for example, also involves the growth of a second organism. Perhaps this is another way by which a second organism could be grown in a human being

    • Indeed, van Inwagen says that a cerebrum supported by an external life-support system would not constitute an organism, and hence that one could not survive as a detached cerebrum (Material Beings, pp. 169 and 291-92).
