cannot help but imbue identical bodies / personhood

English term or phrase: cannot help but imbue identical bodies / personhood
Common experience demonstrates how distinctly different twins are, both in personality and in personhood. At the same time, observers cannot help but imbue identical bodies with some expectation that identical persons occupy those bodies, since body and personality remain intertwined in human intuition.

Mi versión:
La experiencia común demuestra qué tan perfectamente diferentes son los gemelos, tanto en su personalidad como en el sentido de persona. Al mismo tiempo, los observadores no pueden hacer nada más que imbuir cuerpos idénticos con la expectación de que personas idénticas ocupen esos cuerpos . . .

... los observadores no pueden... / en su calidad de personas


Explanation:
"observers cannot help but imbue identical bodies with some expectation that identical persons occupy those bodies,"

>>>... los observadores no pueden sino mezclar/homogeneizar/saturar los cuerpos idénticos con la expectativa de que éstos sean encarnados por personas idénticas.<<<


personhood = en su calidad de personas / como personas (Ver definición abajo)

DEF:
PERSONHOOD: The quality or condition of being a person.
