Imagine the same but with it being not just head, but brain transplants that are possible, so you would literally be swapping entire bodies. You would be able to have children and everything. But they wouldn't be genetically yours. Or Would they be, as that is now your own body? But they wouldn't be genetically related to your parents. Or are your parents even your parents any more? Is it the parents of the body or the parents of the mind?
 Basically you'd have a whole new area of philosophy, the philosophy of "genetic ownership".

All those 80's Sci-Fi movies are slowly becoming a reality.Just much slower than they predicted.I would love to be cryogenically frozen later in life and wake up in a thousand years.
Edit:As long as it's not some Mad Max style post apocalyptic world.
