True, a part is not the same as the whole. But, what are you referring to specifically?
Question_Assumptions said (in #25), "At no point in a person's lifecycle, from the moment they cease being a part of their respective parents and start being a distinct individual . . ."
That statement is incoherent because there is no point in a person's lifespan when he is a part of his parents. Parts are not wholes. Persons are wholes. Therefore parts are not persons.
