Do split-brain patients have 2 souls? Heaven or Hell?
In experiments with split brain patients the phenomenon where one side of the brain says it believes in god and the other side says it does not has been observed. Do both go to hell or do both go to heaven? If one side goes to hell and the other to heaven does that mean the person has 2 souls(or their soul splits in half)?
