What if every part of my body is replaced by computer part continously. At what point do I lose my consciousness?

I think this question is hard to answer because not everyone agrees what consciousness even is.

It wouldn’t really matter until you get to the brain. Very little of your body’s “processing” happens outside of your brain. Basically all of your consciousness is in there. There are some quick nerve paths that loop through your spine for things like moving your hand away when you touch a hot object, but that’s not really consciousness.
