Thinking about Movies and Memories (Dark City)

Maybe we can frame the question of memories differently. Instead of asking do memories define us can we ask if someone could insert or change your memories would you be a different person? Another way to think of it is... Was Neo a different person after he “learned” Kung Fu? Though it sounds ludicrous for surely we are who we are, Locke would disagree. Locke felt that we are the sum product of all our experiences imprinted upon our blank slate from birth. Regardless if we could recall the memories or not they still had an effect on our conscience, and it was this conscience not the physical body that was the definition of our personal identity. I believe this is Locke’s personal justification for the disconnect between the mind, body, and soul.
So the question again is… If someone could insert or change your memories would you be a different person?
