Reading about embryos and such at the moment for Quiet Game. Some of the questions this stuff provokes is like messing around with the rules in a role-playing game: when two embryos fuse spontaneously fuse to form a single chimeric individual, as occasionally happens, how many souls does the resulting human being have?

It's not just chimeras -- the same applies in reverse to identical twins. Especially conjoined ones.

You could do a cool fantasy story where a chimeric human had two souls and that made her enormously valuable to various magical factions. Or she sells her soul to the Devil, knowing she has one spare, and ends up as a kind of cosmic double agent.
