How many souls does a human chimera have? The easy answer is none (my belief). I believe think one or two, why?

Is this just a religous version of the problem of personal identity?

If souls exists then:
1 person, 1 soul
same person, same soul

Jeez. You really aren't up to date on your scientology.

Really though, the idea of cohabitation of souls is interesting. The assumption of Western religion that a body must have only one souls is rather arbitrary. Many cultures have believe in soul cohabitation, and it actually makes some sense in terms of schizophrenia, etc.

Anything that includes a dissociative element could be caused by soul cohabitation.
