If you can put your dead dog's soul into a new dog, would that not mean soul transplants would be possible? Then psychopathic criminals etc could wait on a donor list just as heart patients do. Once they get their new soul, they could be released back into society.
I'd agree with your first statement, but possibly because I feel like that's already the definition of a 'soul transplant'.
Bit I find the implications that arise extremely thought provoking:
1. If the soul isn't the person's personality, could we really release him?
2. If we can't judge someone based on the cleanliness of their soul, why can god when he condemns the soul to hell?
3. If the soul is the personality, doesn't that give the soul material existence? (Chemical imbalances, brain functionality, etc. are all demonstrable and directly linked to behavior and demeanor)
Thank you for being very reasonable about everything ?ingula?i?y.
EDIT: oh, FES doesn't like your name much does it?
lol, I'm very seriously considering changing it. I chose it back when it was my CS:S name, and now it strike me as a bit pretentious. (Plus half the people on the forums can't even see it 'correctly')
