The ship of Theseus of the human body

The ship of Theseus is an ancient thought experiment, which was first recorded by Plutarch. It describes a ship that can sail at sea for hundreds of years - during such a long voyage, of course, the hull needs to be repaired and replaced. Whenever a piece of wood decays, it will be replaced, and so on. One day, all the parts will not be the first ones. The question is, is the ship that eventually came into being still the original ship of Theseus, or has it become a completely different ship? If it is not the original ship, when will it no longer be the original ship?
