Of course, that brings up a question. Why did Spock have to do a "Mind Meld" with Lester-kirk, all he had to do ask "her" several simple questions that only Spock and Kirk could have known.
He then could've had McCoy and Scottie do the same. -

Yes and no. How could she/he/it know who the bridge personnel were. They were called by name. And I would think Starfleet personnel would not be something someone could look up on the internet: at least on a starship. Kirk's engrams must have been transferred also.

Chris 109; I was just going 2 make that suggestion. Lester may have had access 2 that region of Kirk's brain that store's & facilitates his memories, personal experiences.
And vice versa, Kirk enjoying access to Lester's. Kirk, "Her intense loathing of her womanhood limiting her!" As if he knew her thoughts 4 fact. -

Supposedly the last test that McCoy gives to "Kirk" are for basic emotional structure and reactions etc. How could those results not drastically change once it's Dr Lester's personality - and emotional structure - supposedly in that body?
You're raising the issue of mind/body duality.

If the mind is the product of the brain's biochemical reactions, then how could one swap minds?
I'm simply raising the point. I don't want to get into a discussion.
