Oh, thanks for the answer. I am free to utterly ignore anything you decide, asw is the rest of the world. Cool.
The junkie is not a person, because he has acted like a junkie for his whole life.
So when he was 9? He was not a person? At 11, 15? how about 22 the year before the junk hit, was he a non-person then too? You do see how arbitrary and therefor irrelevant your "rules" are, right?
I am the KING of not confusing the map with the terrain. It's one of my favorite things to tell to idiotic leftists. "Prerequisite"? Humans are persons and persons are humans. It's an interchangeable word. You cannot claim a human is a non-human, and you cannot arbitrarily decide who is a person or not. I mean you as an individual can, but that's also the number of people who would base their ideology on your ideas: 1.
If governments gain the power to decide who is and is not a "person" that's when the cattle-cars start filling up, ok? Killing Fields, Holodomor, Great Leap Foreword & etc.
