So what happens when it splits in half? Do you end up with 2 souls since you have 2 "humans"? And what happens if, later the split come together (known as a Chimera), does on of those souls get tossed away, since you have gone from 2 "humans" to one "human"? This entire argument of trying to assign humanity to something that is splitting and joining and is incomplete is not scientific, and is based on dogma more than reason.
You are seriously the most religious atheist I have ever seen...
