I'm not really getting what you're talking about Kasz. What I am saying is that for something to be defined scientifically it needs to objective - personhood isn't. Just like good and evil it's a human construct to describe our perspective of the world.

You cannot scientifically say that "this is a person, this isn't". You can philosophise on the subject however.

Well first i'd consider reading Badgenome's article... but generally...

The very foundation of western philopshy and science on personhood can be boiled down to one latin phrase.

Cogito ergo sum.
