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.

Name one. You might try to avoid non specific critics which just shows
your prejudices. Which relevant literature would I have missed?
Reference please.
