Love people like this who don't read the thread but just add there ideas at the end like they've "wrapped it all up" for us. LOL!!!!
Mate did you even *******ing read the thread or what?
I don't think you understand the question. There are plenty of examples in this thread where a human ISN'T a person.
By human we're referring to the type of animal we are. By "person" we're referring to how capable we are to fit in, and interact with, society. Get it. A person in this respect is seen as a UNIT of society. So an example AGAIN of where a human isn't a person is when someone suffers permanent brain death...is alive in a hospital but on a respirator being kept alive. No brain activity. This is no longer a person .. can't interact with the society and never will. Human BUT NOT a person.
Others would argue that a 1 hour old embryo ( ie just a few cells in size) is human but not a person.

-copies and pastes onto her philosophy essay-

really good points you got there though, you actually "got" what i was asking :P

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?

Mmmmmmmmmm. Well my philosophy is that philosophy of the type illustarted is just a load of Poo.......There has to be better things to study. SURLEY>>>>
