You didn't refer to your position on the matter, but rather, to yourself, as a person.
On a scale of "will die and commit multiple acts of depravity and immorality for my country", and "I don't care", there's a value where someone can completely lose their identity and become an exact replica of you.

You can sense and feel everything that the person whom you chose to become can, and you remain an observer at the beginning. Over time, you gain more and more control over that person, while simultaneously, you begin to think more and more like them as well. Eventually, you will have full control, but also, your original "self" would have been effectively replaced as well.
Imagine now that I tell you that you have this ability, and you've already used it in the past. You are living another person's life. If you were given the following options, which would you choose?
1. Continue living the life that you are living right now, and forget about all of this nonsense.
2. Choose to become another person (limited to people whom you've had contact with, and are at least acquainted with).
3. Regain your original self, which you know nothing about.
4. Give your ability to someone else.
5. Allow the original consciousness of the person that you are inhabiting to make the decision for you.
This is now an entirely plausible scenario.
