The viability of human head transplantation, and its impact on the soul, is (seriously) the topic of today’s podcast interview with Dr. Brandy Schillace @bschillace, an author and expert on death and dying. Fascinating chat.

I don't think the soul per se would be immediately affected, but the Mind (soul+brain) obviously Karadeniz Mar 2021 #1
Wouldn't the soul leak out when the head is first removed? Asking for a friend. nt Progressive Jones Mar 2021 #2

Would. The brain can help or hurt soul development, so the soul could be affected over time.

which one gets the soul? Current thinking is that identical twins come about when a fertilized egg splits in half sometime after conception. And since Anti-Choicers keep telling us that life begins and the soul is implanted at conception, does that mean each twin is only half a person? Or is one a person and the other not?

And I'm not going to even start on vanishing twins and other odd areas of human conception.
