Quote: So the start of personhood for a particular person is a variable, based on that individual\xe2\x80\x99s memory. \nTwenty years ago I could remember events at my fourth birthday, but today those memories are gone. For a while I had personhood at 4 years of age, but today, looking back, I did not have personhood until I was 6. As I age and my memory fails, it may turn out that I did not have personhood until I was 21 years old. Personnhood comes and goes.\nDo I have it right?\n\xe2\x80\x9dNot aware\xe2\x80\x9d???????\nNot aware of what?\nShoot a gun behind them and they will flinch. They are aware of loud noises.\nThrow them wildly into the air and they will cry. They are aware of their own movement.\nPinch them, they will cry.\nThey are self aware as they chew on their toes.\nAnd of course puppies are aware as well.\nUnless of course I do not understand what you mean by aware.
Response: My goal was not to state a precise definition because as you say everyone is different but to say the age that a person becomes aware in a substantial way.\nAs far as I can see puppies are probably more functional then human babies are probably just as intelligent.\nI don\xe2\x80\x99t see why you would have trouble with the comparison.
