Why can’t we live forever if we keep transplanting new/younger organs

If a person keeps transplanting new / younger organs (Let say every 10 years you replace one part). I understand there’s compatibility issues but barring that is that technically not possible? Or does our brain literally just shuts down after time as-well?

No. Even if somehow you were able to transplant a brain, you would lose all of your memories. The brain is the only irreplaceable part of your body. Lungs heart and kidney can be replaced. However, your brain contains your whole life on it. It’s like a save file. You’re suggesting to take out the save file and put in your friends. You would forget all about yourself and you would basically become the person whose brain you put in. In conclusion, the only way this might be possible is if scientists find a way to put all of the information from your brain into an artificial brain.
