      The person receiving the brain would no longer exist, and the person who gave the brain would wake up in a new body, because we are just our brains after all.

      I think there’s been a film about this…. Maybe yes, because your personality comes from your brain. However, it is also shaped by your environment and it may change depending on the new environment the person is in?! I’m not sure.
