There is one widely published instance of a woman almost losing custody of her two children after a court-ordered genetic test returned a mismatch. Had to be pretty confusing to hear that the guy is indeed the father, but… Objection! You are not the mother of these children!
At least two distinct processes. Since we don’t know how consciousness emerges we can’t tell if the brain stem is strictly required, so the split-brain phenomena you’re probably referencing might only shows that we got two major regions for higher brain function but not two separate… “souls”?
I swear we gonna learn sooooo much about consciousness once we’re able to artificially (and safely, temporarily) link two brains together.
Exactly. But entirely fused into one being. It happens in all species, including humans.
I may be one, but never bothered to test for. Could also be a slight vitiligo. Dunno.
Does that mean two different parts of your body could have two different DNA? I think there’s some crime story about this.

sorta funny to think about. we already seem to be two distinct people with each side of the brain. this would kinda make it moreso.

heck. I don’t even think we have one soul.
