Whether their child was born with thoughts and a personality most likely matters very little to the parents. They probably love their child, even if that child will never know or return that love. All I'm saying is that without the ability to think, the 'personhood' is missing and all that remains is a biological shell. It's a support system with nothing to support.
I wouldn't say that to the parents. That would be mean.
Having a functioning brain stem (what causes the heart to beat, lungs to breath and regulates BP) and a forebrain means one isn't a person? You sure have an odd definition of person. Once again I will say if you are so sure 4 year old Nicholas isn't a person, go tell his parents. Fact is he is legally a person and all your mental posturing isn't going to change that.
