Here is the simple but painful cure. There is no such thing as the soul or mind as some sort of non-corporeal thing. The soul or mind is the action of the human brain. So to the extent that there are two individual brains there will be two souls. One brain one soul. Since a natural explanation will always allow for odd cases and exceptions in certain circumstances (unlike an essentialist explanation) even multiple personalities may not be a problem. To the extent that a brain can be in a state where it is unaware of other aspects of its consciousness it can have more than one mind or soul. Of course the pain that this view causes is that we cease to have immortal souls or immortal anything. I can live (and die) with that _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
