I was sort of deliberately vague to see what people took things to mean (like the definition of soul). Also, I can't really answer soome questions because I haven't decided yet...I'm using the input to help me decide on some of those details. I think I probably should have asked everyone to define a soul as well. I think I'll post another question!
I think I was a bit misleading in saying the soul was more biological. I don't mean it's like a gall bladder. More that there is something that can be identified and traced.
I have read the responses but haven't had time to really comb through them and organize them, something I plan to do this weekend.
Thanks again for all the responses...very helpful!!

Remember I loved only you...Remember me and smile...
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry
