My question for usmccds, whats the minimal you can remove from a persons body to have them not considered a person?
For example
- Pittpull says no brain, not a person he says
- No left hand, still a person I say
- Everything but the left hand, not a person I say[/quote]
The premise of personhood is non-sense in my opinion. It semantics. If you find a left hand on the ground you say, “Oh shit, that’s a person’s hand.”
You aren’t going to convince me that the 12 year old I posted, who could breath on his own and his heart beat on it’s own, wasn’t a person because he didn’t have a brain. We might as well agree to disagree if you’re going to try. [/quote]
they have a brain stem

Yup[/quote]
so they do have part of a brain[/quote]
Do you have a point? [/quote]
yeah, your statement is false that these children do not have a brain. To me seems like torture to have have to live like that.

That’s a fancy straw man you built there. Read the thread…
You’re entitled to you opinion on whether that is torture, but that opinion has zero to do with whether that child is a person or not. You know, the current topic of discussion.
[/quote]
so you’re ignoring that your statement is false? because the discussion is based on these children being people while not having a brain. which is incorrect. they do.[/quote]
No, that is not what the discussion was about, but much like sufiandy, you just jumped right in the middle of it completely out of context. I’m well aware that each of these children was born with a brain stem. I doubt there has ever been a case where a child has been born without a brain stem alive, which makes your point moot. Feel free to provide an example.
Pitt is the one that said these children aren’t people because they weren’t born with a brain, argue with him about it.
