  • I'm merely pointing out that as the status quo, "person" does not apply to, say, a 3 week old fetus. By convention of the majority and also by definition.

    People can refer to it as a "person", but they only do so to push an agenda with the corresponding connotation (sentience).

      Definition of what? I provided you with a basic definition of "person" A human being is defined as a person. Is a human fetus a human being? Because if it is, by the generally agreed dictionary definition, it is a person.

      People can refer to it as a "person", but they only do so to push an agenda with the corresponding connotation (sentience).
      Of course. BUt then the wide and ample definition of "person" allows them to do so. You are wrong to state that its is incorrect to define a human fetus as a person, because again, if a human fetus is defined as a human being, then it is a person (again).

      Oh, here are some definitions of human:

      please explain how it is impossible to define a fetus as a human being based on these.

      And is it a moral statement to define a fetus as a human being? OF COURSE IT IS. Just as your statement that a fetus is not a person is a moral statement.
