Reply #77: what's a human person? [View All]

[iverglas]

"Person" is a legal construct. A human person is presumably a person that is not a corporate person. Hardly a useful concept in this discussion.

"Human being" is the term applied by human beings to that which is human, born and alive.

Too bad those little feties fail on that one point, eh?

Otherwise, I imagine we would see you and your obedient co-religionists and fellow travellers out lobbying for abortion to be punishable as murder.

Given how you apparently aren't, I'll just take this "human person" bafflegab as another example of the forked tongue with which the lot of you never fail to approach the issues.

Do as you say -- for reasons that you can't begin to state coherently, and yet that you demand that other human beings be compelled to live by.
