Amanda, Isn't a person that is unconscious, perhaps under anesthesia a living being? How about a 6 month fetus, that could live if it were born. The prenatal age of viability keeps getting pushed back farther and farther. Maybe it will be 5 months. Isn't it still a person? If it is born full term, it requires constant attention to keep it alive. Isn't it still a person? That frozen lump, it's not a dog or a monkey, it's human. Given food and oxygen it will be a person. I personally think person hood begins at implantation, but this does give room for ethical studies. It's not cut and dried and not necessarily the way we want it to be.
