Don't get me wrong: I think you're on to sumthin' with this...

Quote:
Personhood requires self-consciousness - being aware of ourselves, and in control of our actions; being able to reason and see why things happen, rather than just experiencing things.
...but (again): 'What about the comatose? It can be argued a comatose person isn't conscious on any level.'
