Do we find what makes up a person in the brain? And, if one could transplant a brain, would that also transfer the person into a new organism? Advances in neuroscience have promoted an identification of person and brain that is incompatible with the reality of the human person. Persons are necessarily embodied, i.e., they show themselves, they act and express themselves through their bodies. We are persons to each other not as abstract minds, but as living, visible, and palpable beings. This view of the person also corresponds to the biological reality of the organism: the brain is not the locus of consciousness, but an organ of mediation for the relations of the conscious organism to the environment. As such, it is only the necessary, but by no means the sufficient condition for personal experience and behavior. It is not the brain, but the living person who feels, thinks, and acts.
