And the body remain alive...

Would that person stop being a person or is the personality in the body?

Because if the personality is in the brains, then we can say that we are living inside a machine (the body) and nothing is us besides the brains.

Personality is a philosophical term that's hard to define.
Some would say it's social image so based on that definition
there would be no personality since behavior is no longer being exhibited.
