What do you mean? My parents will probably die before me. Maybe im just being stupid but I don't see the logic.

Your children would then identify as you, so perhaps this is what they aiming at

But why would my kid identity as me just because I identified as my parents. Also it wouldn't work over more than one generation as if my child gets children they wouldn't identify as me but their parents. Sounds more to the point to just identify as your child.

If you became immortal but had total amnesia every 100 years, you could keep a diary and still feel immortal. If you got a new body every 100 years, you could tell your new body their past life and still feel immortal. But if the new body felt like a different person each time, you would not be immortal anymore.
