Whether or not “personhood” has been scientifically defined, what’s the difference between being human and being a person?

Your kidney is “human”, but it isn’t a human *being*. You can’t murder a kidney. At some point in development, be it conception or birth, somewhere in between or somewhere afterward, we become members of the human community, with “inalienable rights”. I can’t imagine how that can be exclusively a scientific question.
