Isn't 'a person' a 'human being'! A human being is an animal that has a unique genome which has given it certain traits, that can be differentiated from other species of animal.

You said 'does personality denote a person'. If a person is dead, are they still a person?. I think they are a dead person, but they have no personality! So when is a person not a person then? When they no longer physically exist could be an answer.
