Would deliberately, drastically, and non-consensually changing the personality and/or memories of another person be morally equivalent to killing them?

I think that is bodily harm, you are forcing part of someone's neurology to be altered, basically railroad spiking your lobe.
The brain is quite plastic, takes a lot of abuse, so there's potential for healthy controlled intervention, if it's patients consent there's no problem.
Interesting question for sure. A total overwrite like Agent Smith in Matrix, that's 100% horrible death.
