"It followed the same point I've been making all along. That's no veering off."
Yes it was. It was not any part of your "all along" that happened years ago for several months. YOU picked a post I made years ago and you did not respond to the content of that post but you simply used it to talk about DNA. My post was about what it is to be a person as I explained after you veered off:
My post was about being a "person". That is a legal and philosophical question. Your response is irrelevant to that. Notice again that I have put it in quotes as I did in the post you responded to. Being a person is a complex issue in law and philosophy.
"Personhood is the status of being a person. Defining personhood is a controversial topic in philosophy and law, and is closely tied to legal and political concepts of citizenship, equality, and liberty. According to law, only a natural person or legal personality has rights, protections, privileges, responsibilities, and legal liability. Personhood continues to be a topic of international debate. Historically, personhood was questioned during the abolition of slavery, the fight for women's rights and animal rights, debates about abortion, fetal rights and reproductive rights as well as debates about corporate personhood.
Various specific debates have focused and continue to focus on questions about the personhood of different classes of entities. Historically, the personhood of animals, women, and slaves has been a catalyst of social upheaval. Today, most living adult humans are usually considered persons, but depending on the context, theory or definition, the category of "person" may be taken to include such non-human entities as animals, corporations, sovereign states, estates in probate, artificial intelligences, or extraterrestrial life; and may exclude some human entities in prenatal development or those with extreme mental impairments or injuries. A deceased person may be considered a person or property, depending on jurisdiction."
