I think this is a meaningless distinction.    Their minds are not
responsible for it.   But the mind/body duality, even if it has some truth
for humans, has no meaning for an Inhumi.

Their minds *right down to their deepest souls* are no more than a genetic
ghost conjured up by their blood-drinking bodies as a chameleon-game to
facilitate more blood-drinking - a fake so deep that the poor minds
themselves believe it to be true, but a fake nontheless.

The only thing about them that is *not* borrowed is their genetics, their
bodies, and it is the only thing that can be meaningfully judged.
