What makes a person a person is a big question and I am unaware of a satisfactory answer as of yet.
Turing came up with the Turing test for intelligence which, if taken to a logical conclusion, could include personhood.
But the Turing test can be gamed with clever programming so something new needs to be worked out.
Dolphins, Elephants and some great apes are self aware and can react in a very person like way, can they count as a person? (as distinct from a human which is just a species label).

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
