It depends on any identity theory in which you survive completely with
a brain transplant, that is what the step 1 is all about. You

If you survive brain transplant you introduce all sorts of problems for
an account of personal identity. Just read the relevant philosophical
literature. Your "easy step" elides all the problems.
