The argument doesn't really work with humans because your perceptions of 'You' are stored in your brain. If your brain was replaced, the brain would think it was itself, not you.
The cells of which, though rarely if ever replaced, replace the components they are made of simply for maintenance. Almost every atom in your body is replaced in less than a decade, they are shed, pissed and exhaled away.
