Sure there is. It's just, nobody would want to use that definition of personhood, because it'd be seen as extremely cruel and immortal. Since it's not some time until after birth, and once a child is born, nobody wants to kill it. Up until a certain point, a child is no more advanced then an animal. I mean, afterall your an atheist right? With no soul or spirit, personhood is encapsulated in the mind isn't it? |
I'm an atheist yes, and in my opinion personhood is in some way linked to the mind. I strongly disagree however that there is a scientific definition of when it begins as the idea of personhood is an entirely philosophical construct.
