Sorry, man, but I have to vote "no."  When you implant the soul, it doesnt
get intertwined with the pre-existing soul; it just hangs out in the body
and fights for control.  They really don't mingle, which has led to some 
pretty interesting plot points.  My character has performed Soulcatchers
finessed for selectivity to pull out one of two souls in a body, rather
than luck of the draw. I'm sure that soulcatchering the foreign soul would
leave one happy elf. =)
