"Personhood is vaguely defined and can apply to such things as corporations." Yes it can apply in other legal ways but it is NEVER defined as an embryo! And it IS VERY PRECISELY defined--as it must be in order for the law to operate! Defining the embryo as a human person is simply inventing your own personal definition. Good luck with that! There are very valid reasons why embryos are not considered as human persons nor defined as such. If you only want to state your opinion that the embryo is a person and has rights to the womb, then you have done so and thank you for your time. I was hoping you had some arguments as to why society should change the definition of personhood and grant Rights to embryos--but no matter.
