So if that is your definition, you must have a very tiny world that you live in.

The moment a person enters a coma, he loses his "person" (in the sense you're speaking in), however, people do recover from comas and are capable of being self aware again. I understand that my stance eliminates the elderly and others suffering from severe mental disabilities. It doesn't take away their humanity, just their persona. The difference in an object being something and being someone is as I've said before, cognitive thought and conscious awareness.
Define cognitive thought. I mean what is it. Define what a thought is. To make this simpler, I mean physically what it is.

Quote:As Paul has just stated, "I think, therefore I am".
Not meaning to take anything away from Paul but he shamelessly stole (borrowed) that line from Rene Descartes and he wasn't referring to an anencephalitic baby, as a matter of fact, I seriously doubt the condition was known back then.
