You lose whole atoms all the time, that are then replaced. You lose cells that are replaced. Your thoughts and mind changes all the time. Do you identify as the same person as five year old you? He was made up of totally different stuff and had totally different thoughts.

Truth is he's dead now, as are all the past yous, but it doesn't matter as long as there is continuity.

I still have the same teeth from birth to death though?

Nope, all of your atoms are changed about every five years or so.

Bullshit. My teeth define me as who I am. I will always carry these atoms with me no matter where I go. Unless I get in a bike wreck and knock some out and throw them in the trash.

Since toilets are so rare in starfleet ships, you're supposed to poop on your plate before you put it back in the replicator.
