The Ship of Theseus is rather similar.

Swap the holes and patches for broken and repaired ship parts and it's the same question; would it still be the Ship of Theseus once all the old and broken parts have been replaced with new ones? And what if a second ship was built out of the damaged parts, which would be the true Ship of Theseus?

In a way, it's a lot like your question of humanity and emotions. Don't you think?
