A few things spring to mind after reading your post.
Why is it not my soul?
Who says it's not immortal?
What is a soul and how does it differ from the self?
The whole concept of a soul is an interesting one. Perhaps, if such a thing exists, it is simply a holding place for the complex set of conditions that need to met in order for a person to be, well, a person. While we have a brain there is no need for a soul as our brain does a pretty good job at 'containing' the information that is us. But, when our brains stop working then this 'soul' takes over and continues the job.
How such a thing would come into existence in the first place I cannot tell. Perhaps it is a natural consequence of consciousness itself. Perhaps it is something that the Cosmos 'created' in it's earliest incarnation and the brain has simply evolved to accommodate this strange quantum entity. Then of course, when the brain dies, the soul (us) simply carries on as it has done since the beginning of time.
If this interpretation is close to the mark then the soul is in fact the person and is completely immortal and this life that we lead now is simply a tiny part of the 'life of a soul'
Also, this point of view gives people the concept of immortality without the need for religion, dogma, a creator or any of the other stuff that goes with it.
