Well, it's certainly "human" as opposed to feline, avian, etc. But I don't see that as the important distinction. Whether it legally a "person" matters

The law is a human construct. With the right mandate, anything can be "legal."

I guess that's what it's like to have no absolutes, no morals.

Can't legislate morality. It's hopelessly intertwined with religion, which our founding fathers wisely chose to prohibit from being established by government. There are a lot of things I think should be legal, that I don't think are moral.
