http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/ has become one of my new favorite sites.

Mostly? Because it's the complete idiot's guide to living in the UK. Everything from police powers to the rights you have using online auctions all the way to how to calculate water bills.

I <3 complete idiot's guides.

And, for once, the site I went to actually answered my question, and since it was a really stupid one I'm very glad it did.

Something that's bothering me for ages: Jack's a fixed point. But is the fixed point an issue with bodily immortality or mental immortality?

Like in The Heart Knows No Reason, [livejournal.com profile] tanarian thinks that if you bodyswaped Jack and Ianto, the immortality would follow Jack's body, not his mind.

I take the oppiste view, that Jack in Ianto's body would be the immortal one. Bad Wolf re-wrote the universe saying "Jack Harkness must live" and a person isn't just their body - it's also the thing that got transfered with the bodyswap. ( Mind, I guess? )

So, I'm just soliciting opinions. Jack and Ianto bodyswap. Is Jack-in-Ianto mortal, Ianto-in-Jack mortal, or are they both mortal as it's a mind-body thing that rules a fixed point.
