personhood
Over in the Phliosphy Now Forum a recurring conversation is over the nature of 'person'.
What 'is' a person? What are the qualities or characteristics of 'person'. What makes a human being a person? Why isn't -- for example -- a goldfish a person? When does a human being become a person? One fellow over there posted "Foetuses are no(t) "persons" until they are named and certified by live birth." which, as I said is 'one legitimate (and, in my view, flawed) way to look at personhood.' So: dazzle me with insight & wisdom.
