Well, with bodies being different shapes and sizes, and in the case of different sexes hooked up to different (though mostly analogous) parts entirely, it would be a bit difficult to visualise. But I suppose if you made a near atom-for-atom replacement there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Probably the closest thing we've ever done to this are the recent arm and face transplants, so that would be what you'd need to look up.

i don't get "face" transplants, since much of what makes up our face is the bone structure underneath, right? And that's not changing.

Well, when your face looks like this that's the least of your problems.

I already do experience living in someone else's body. When I look in a mirror or see recent photographs, I hardly recognise the face as being me. Photographs of me in my 30s are "me"; that's still how I still think of myself rather than the wrinkly, saggy-faced, balding alien that confronts me in the bathroom mirror every morning.

The picture on your userpage still gives you away for the handsome devil that you are, G.

What The Matrix refers to as "residual self image", I'm sure. I have the same with my voice as in my head it's pitched down relative to what recording sound like.

I have this EXACT feeling. I 'feel" 40 lbs lighter, and "look" 30. I see myself in the mirror and say "who's that fat old woman'. I don't look in the mirror very much anymore. ;-)
