Don't bring MILFs into this
MIRFs are fair game though.

Lol, Phil it didn't come from wikipedia, but would it really matter if it did? I always find it interesting how people can discredit a Wiki that has links to 50-100 credible sources at the bottom of the page, but I digress.
If you don't know that you're thinking, then what good is what you're thinking? The child is not a person. He is something (human), not someone, (person). That's the bottom line man and I really don't know why it bothers you so much. I've expressed several times that this holds no bearing on how this child should be treated and even expressed my sympathy for this family. As a father of a young boy, I can't even imagine what it must be like.
You didn't define cognitive thinking yet you use that as part of your definition of what a person is. Then you should be able to define what it is. I told you where you could look it up, do so then look up attention (which is a part of cognitive ability). Then explain what controls bottom-up attention.
edit: So by your criteria of cognitive thought since Nicholas Coke has one aspect of cognitive thought by your definition he is a person so what are you still arguing for?
