I didn't mean to imply that having more than one mind is in any way a problem.

I figure you didn't mean to, but you did mention biological fuck ups in your example :P Sorry, this is I think just one of the small/niggling reasons the comparison seems odd.

There are biological mechanisms that create more than one body (such as the release of two eggs, or divisions, etc). Similarly, there are mechanisms that create more than one 'mind', but I'm not sure that's really what you're meaning to reference. Since... more or less, here I'm thinking of 'trauma' and other psychological ways of a mind forming/reforming.

I just... I see your point, I really do. I just think your way of putting it across here was... well, wrong :P Just is off to me. It's reasonabley valid to say bodies can be varied, so can minds. It was the comparison to the *formation* of them etc that I think was off to me.

(I have a tendancy to take things at a fairly literal face value, so it stands out to me very heavily when a comparison just isn't working well)

Don't worry, it really is just the analogy thingummy I'm picking at, not you or your point.
