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

Re: how many souls?
Zero of course. There is no evidence that souls exist, i.e. that consciousness is something more then just a result of interactions between the material components of a brain and the brain's interactions with its environment.
Unless of course you would count the "personal incredulity argument" as evidence. ("I don't see how a bunch of interacting particles could ever be conscious"). Even if you believe that there is such a thing as a soul, it makes no sense to believe that there would be two of them in a body that has been the recipient of a kidney transplant or a blood transfusion. Would that mean that the donor now has none? |

I thought the belief was that the body is in fact a shell and the soul is only freed once you die. So why would it be in yr kidney?

Re: how many souls?
0 < numberOfSouls < 1
In honour of diebitter, 0.42 seems to be the correct answer. |
