The two obvious issues are the “fetus problem1” and the “too many minds” objection (otherwise known as the “thinking animal” argument).
My current thoughts are too inchoate to set down.
However, I suspect that there is a large overlap between the “too many minds” objection to the constitution view and the Dion / Theon and Tib / Tibbles nexus, together with the sorites arguments against the existence of material objects with parts. If the “too many minds” objection were sound, it would prove too much.
