Can one cell house two souls? Yes.

I'll definitely go get the body of his comments and post them to this thread.

I believe you are incorrect on this point, however. Only when the cell has divided into two distinct bodies are there two souls present.

Duo sunt in homine refers ONLY to each man's having a soul ... as reflected in his having two sources of knowledge: ratio (which he shares with lesser creatures) as well as intellectus, that fragment ofi spiritual light by which he has recourse to an intuitive knowledge of truth.

My mentor. ... Askel, both twons had their origin in the original single cell of fecundation. The way I use soul is different from the way I use spirit. To me, soulis the behavior mechanism. As such, two behavior mechanisms could be housed in one body ... but I don't want to take this into religious realms, if possible, because there is so much that needs debating from the scientific perspective, to raise awareness as our nation faces the prospects of human cloning. Only when the science is clearly understood can we expect to make informed judgement regarding the issues of cloning.
