You haven't demonstrated that blastocysts are people. It's no sleight of hand - what determines a person is not a scientific determination no matter how hard you might try and make it one. Science only determines species. Laws were written to protect people - not all life.Nope, just pointing out the error of your statement: that personhood is a modern concept revolving around abortion. It isn't.No. For all persons. And what defines a person has changed through history.However embryos are not people.Your logic doesn't work.You use legal definitions to support your points by saying the legal definition of a "person" is a human being - yet all legal "persons" are clearly not human beings (ie they can be corporations). So that is wrong right there.You say all persons are human beings therefore all human beings are persons.That's a classic logical fallacy.
