And there was that one guy who claimed that scientifically every cell in our body regenerates every 7 years, so after 7 years you are no longer the same person who committed the crime. So prisoners should not have to stay in prison more than 7 years.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't brain cell never renew itself?

Gonna correct, this is false-ish... however it is much slower. By the time you're 50 for example all of the neurons in your hippocampus will have been replaced. It's called neurogenesis. It is not currently known whether its the same rate for all of the brain some parts are a little faster, other parts are slower.
