Thanks for the clarification. I did not read the link I posted carefully, I was searching from memory for the article that I'd thought I'd read. Obviously I got the wrong one and there have been further developments. The aspect of personhood that I'm referring to is the idea that we have two people inside of us, that develop independently. That's a really weird one to wrap my "brains" around. That the body works to recreate one personhood after the callosum is split is pretty clear indication that there's one only 'self' at play here. Both hemispheres cooperate to create it. While I'm sure you can create some weird Frankenstein by cutting off all the ways for the hemispheres to communicate, this is just doing damage to the self, might as well just put a bullet in there and be done with it. A collosotomy by itself doesn't destroy the self, the cohesive identity of the body as having one mind.
