16. Persons / B. Nature of the Self / 7. Self and Body / b. Self as brain

3540	If we are brains then we never meet each other [Maslin]
	Full Idea: If I am my brain this leads to the odd result that you have never met me because you have never seen my brain.
	From: Keith T. Maslin (Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind [2001], 10.7)
	A reaction: 'Star Trek' is full of aliens who appear beautiful, and turn out to be ugly grey lumps. 'I am my face' would be just as odd, particularly if I were in a coma, or dead.
