But it was the concept of "soul" which I was addressing, not personhood or personality. So I'm firmly on speculative ground, nothing very sciency about it, no journals to quote. However there is a nice video on youtube based on a TED talk by Ian McGilchist about the divided brain theory that informs my speculation.

yes but you said the personality forms before consciousness,
I don't think so. I can't imagine what personality has to do with anything.

And the soul the way we understand it different from personality, its something inherent to a person's existence from conception on, so that's why I say it determines personhood. Will see the video and comment on it.
When I go to the bother of coming up with an alternative understanding of "soul" for the sake of finding common ground is not the time to come back with an unthinking blather of dogma. I reject all that on the face of it.
