That's an interesting example of information being stored in parts of our body besides our brain which is a theory gaining more popularity. I wouldn't be surprised if further study confirmed this.
A soul usually implies a religious / supernatural energy that survives our death. It's an inherently non-testable theory.
I think the question if "do humans have souls?" is just an example of how the question "do elephants have souls?" can have no testable answer, just personal opinion based on your belief system.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoShe also had interesting dreams about the guy who donated her organs and similar. Some belief systems would see that as in line with souls being real. It's all a simulacra in 4D anyway. I think it's fine to go with whatever mental models float your boat in that regard. (Mind you, I reserve the right to do the same thing and don't feel compelled to agree with anyone else about such topics.)
- mikeash 7y agoSeems to me that mind alteration due to an organ transplant is solid evidence against the existence of the soul.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI didn't chime in to initiate debate on the subject. I was merely suggesting a potential resource for someone potentially interested in exploring the topic for themselves. I generally do not debate such things.
- everdev 7y agoThanks, I think it was a relevant anecdote.
