Are breadcrumbs bread?
When does something cease to be what it is? When is it no longer that which it was when it was whole?
Is the thing broken into its parts no longer that thing?
Is the damaged thing, still the same thing?
Easy and unimportant when talking about things - terribly scary when talking about people. Is the person who no longer has the faculties that make us people still a person? And if so - what is it that makes us people? A crumb must still be bread, or else, nothing is inherently what it always was.
