It is you who have made the some sort of distinction between losing a limb and the capacity to recall a memory.
Loss of a limb does *not* equate to loss of mind!
You seem to think dementia is just a loss of memory.
Often personality changes occur. As will happen with brain injuries and stroke. We are talking about a fundamental change on who a person is - not just that they cannot remember where they last put the keys.
loss of brain == loss of mind (and even changes in personality)
For reading your posts you seem to imply that the ego/personality is some stable bedrock of existence and losing a limb represents a loss of functionality as does losing ones memory.
In addition, chemical imbalances can cause dramatic changes in personality for the better or worse.
How does that fit with your concept of soul?
What stage of ones life most accurately represents the soul?
