Summary/Abstract: In this paper I argue that we need to rethink the boundary between a person and its property. I will first motivate the claim that we should extend the boundaries of persons, and consider three different arguments offered in the recent literature with similar intentions: a) “Ship of Theseus” argument, b) “Continuity between physical persons and corporations as legal persons” and c) “Simple Extended cognition” argument. After addressing the shortcomings of these offered arguments I will present my own argument based on the Parity argument for cognitive extension.
