The 14th ammendment refers to "persons" not "human beings". Perhaps there is a difference.There also is no legal definition of "human" . The law does not generally refer to a "human being" but to a "person." That's the definition that is required. Whether or not a fertilized ovum, a fetus, an anacephalic baby, or a brain-dead accident victim is a human being is biological hair-splitting. But whether or not it is a person and therefore has the rights of a person, that is an important legal issue and that is different from "human being".
