I am curious what your take is on my split brain example I posted earlier.
We have people on this planet who have had half their brains removed who still maintain their perspective, conscious mind, and sentience. Of course, they lose the functions inherent in the half of the brain they've lost, but they're still normal, happy human beings. This is true for people who use only their left OR right halves, so clearly both halves of the brain are capable of maintaining our continuous perspective as an observer. I think we can also agree that our bodies are merely physical vessels that our mind operates. Given this, let us say there are two bodies that are brainless. I come into a lab, and have my brain split in two. Each half is placed in one of the bodies. So when all's said and done, we have two live bodies, each with half a brain -- each person having been derived from an initially shared experience. What would your soul argument have to say about this?
