Thomas A. Edison
Nice choice. That's a person I admire as well. It also so happens the town I reside in is named after him. Heh.

I too wouldn't want to change.

I'd probably want to be Michael Jordan in his prime, just to be able to play basketball with his talent.

And then spend all his money :D

It isn't hard for me to imagine at all. That's why I choose that person. :)

ok ok..but to play your game fairly...I'd be:

The creator of Girls Gone Wild. that guy is made of cash, is a business genius, and gets to party all the time.

He's also in jail on child porn charges I believe. Have fun, and don't drop the soap.

You would wake up as another person. You wouldn't be replacing them. Your consciousness would be transferred to that person and your former self and your memories, personality, etc would die.

Yup. You wouldn't die per se, just not exist any longer. The only point I'm interested in is who you would choose as your hypothetical answer, not really the consequences of your ceased existence as you are now.:p
