If a human being is defined by thoughts, emotions, memories, the soul, and if all our evidence suggests that the soul is, if not generated by the brain, at least depends on it for its connection to the body (how I prefer to think of it) and that a body without brain activity is by any reasonable definition soulless (no possible emotions, no possible thoughts, no possible humanity).

What evidence suggests that our soul is generated by the brain? Where are you getting this? Is this just part of your idea? You take a great leap in attaching an intangible to a tangible while claiming it to be fact. How can something intangible, like a soul, physically reside anywhere and how could that be proven or even disproved? Sorry, but I don't buy it and would personally have to re-think things if this were the basis for my foundation of an argument.
