A Dementor's Kiss removes the soul from a body, leaving a perfectly functional but soulless human body behind. To make a Horcrux, you take a soul, break off a piece, and then shove that piece into something, typically something that lacks a soul. Horcruxes made from a reasonably intact soul like Spoiler: HP demonstrate personality and sentience even in forms that otherwise lacked it.
So, the scenario; you have two victims and a Dementor, the Dementor kisses the first one, you murder the second one as part of the Horcrux ritual, and shove roughly half of your soul into the now-soulless first body. Do you gain control of that body? Can you access the memories in the now-occupied brain? Can the victim's personality reassert itself? Do the chances of failure/re-assertion increase if you've already Horcruxed your soul a few times?
