If a perfect copy is necessary for identity to continue then every time you
take a sip of wine or even coffee your identity is destroyed because your
brain has changed, if fact the only time identity would continue would be if
there were absolutely no change from one moment to the next. There is
another name for a brain being in that sate, death.
