I'm a living, breathing, human being who by any definition of science and/or medicine is a "person"

Said the black man 150 years ago. The Court disagreed.

When you decide to give the gov't the power to seperate "personhood" from "humanity" you give it the power to kill the inconvenient. Blacks aren't people, Jews aren't people, fetuses aren't people.

And people used to think the sun revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat...so what? There needs to be a single, objective answer to the definition of a "person" for this debate to ever be settled. "Humanity" is irrelevant as it is entirely subjective (see Mao, Stalin, and Hitler as just three examples of people who their followers considered humane).
