Default Humans/Persons.

For philosophy we've been learning the differences between "humans" and "people".

Generally, Human is the term for someone with the same DNA as us, but a person is more varied. Like, it can be argued that a person in a permanent grade12 coma is a human, and not a person because they have no self-awareness, morals, traits, etc, which define a person.


In your opinion, is there a difference between a person and a human?
Can an animal be a person?
Can you be a human and not a person?
Can you be a person and not a human?
