The idea of the self is pretty odd. We all know who we are, but what makes you who you are? Like many people have said most of that changes through time and experience. Is the young you an isolated "self" that lived and died in that very moment to be reborn as someone new the next second? Maybe? Or is there some joining factor? Is there some core pricinple of self that binds all these moments into one conscious mind? No clue, but to answer your question I wouldn't want to remake myself.
