Whatever we define as a person will be a person until we define a person differently. Language simply expresses choices we have made about categorizing our perceptions of reality. If an egg IS a person--then it is entitled to the same basic human rights as are all persons. Delighted to see you say this. It's been a position I've been advocating here without much sympathy for a long time. The definition of personhood person is the key. And it changes dramatically over the years. And will keep doing so.
