While that other Danny Phantom thread is going I think this one is a bit more important.
In the past, I made a thread talking about what would happen to Danny Phantom if Danny Fenton is killed and vice versa. In the end it was accepted that nothing would happen and a not was added to the page. But after all the reworks, I forgot to add it in and I don't remember the thread so instead of just adding the note again, I think it's best make a new thread with the evidence to make it easier to access.
Evidence
So everyone knows the story from the intro, Danny gets blasted by the energy of the ghost portal and the ectoplasm merges with his body and rearranged his molecular structure. This allows Danny to use several ghost abilities while in human form and in the episode "Splitting Images" was stated by Poindexter to... "have all our powers on the human plane".
But not just that, he gained the ability to transform into his super hero form Danny Phantom and gain Ghost Physiology (Danny Phantom).
Different Personalities/Halves
Normally, Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom are seen as the same person, which they are in a sense but the series does have moments that showcase them as separate halves that don't require the other in order to survive.
In season 1, episode 6, "What You Want", Danny accidentally flies through the Fenton Dream Catcher which expunged his ghost half and we see they both look at each other and it let's us know they are two different entities. This is further shown when Tucker gained ghost powers from Desiree and his ghost half took over his human side and when Danny removed it, we see the ghost side contained all of Tucker's jealousy and had it's own personality.
In season 1, episode 12, "Teacher of the Year", we see Danny Phantom phase into his computer and become his oc and made himself apart of the game and abide by it's rules. And we see when Danny's oc (Danny Phantom) is destroyed along with his ghost half, Danny Fenton gets thrown out of the computer, showing the destruction of one doesn't cause the destruction of the other.
In season 2, episode 6, "Identity Crisis", Danny uses the Fenton Dream Catcher to split himself so his ghost half can be a full ghost and his human half can live a normal life. Due to his mental state at the time, the personality took a major difference which is shown to have said effects later in the series.
In season 3, episode 8 - 9, "The Ultimate Enemy", after the deaths of Danny's family and friends, Danny blames himself and his ghost half, and asked Vlad to remove his ghost half but due to it being left with all of Danny's grief, Danny Phantom was pissed. Vlad also stated that 10 years without his ghost powers allowed him to see more how wrong he was. Showing that it's personally had an effect on him.
In season 3, episode 12 - 13, "Phantom Planet", Danny removes his ghost half yet he is still fine. We see the split and the ghost half leave but we never see where the other half left to.
Conclusion
Half ghosts have two halves, a human form and a ghost form who have their own personality and don't need the other to survive.
I didn't realize we had a ability for this but we do and it's Multiple Selves, and Danny should specifically type 1 and 2.
"Type 1 (Multiple Minds): Generally describes those who has one or more personas or personalities co-inhabiting their mind. Note that characters that simply suffer from a dissociative identity disorder (also known as multiple personality disorder) don't normally qualify for this ability; in order to meet the requirements, their alternative identities must be extremely relevant, influent and grant them exceptional or supernatural powers, abilities and/or resistances, sometimes even affecting the very structure of their body."
"Type 2 (Multiple Souls): Generally describes those who have one or more spirits or souls co-inhabiting their body. Those who are possessed by one or multiple spiritual beings would fall under this category. In order to qualify as "selves" such spiritual beings should preferably be sentient, regardless of them being autonomous, dormant or forcibly controlled."
Given Danny Phantom is a spirit and possess his own consciousness, and is basically the source of Danny's powers, he and other half ghosts should qualify for these types...
Multiple Selves (Types 1 and 2; Half-Ghosts possess both a human and ghost half that have tied consciousness that will start to deviate depending on the users mental state and allowing one to overtake the other, and the removal of one half has no effect on the other)
Note: While half ghosts can have both halves separated and survive, it is not fully known what would happen to their ghost half if the human half is killed while they are together. Although given they can merge back with the other half freely and other ghosts can leave the bodies of those they overshadow it is possible they would be capable of leaving the body as well.
This also would effect several of Danny's matches, specifically the ones that focused on his opponent killing him in human form after his time was up.
