CDZ What "is" the current legal definition for a "person?"

As for person, it is legally defined.

That's right!

Now, please post the legal definition along with a link to the source.
I want them to find it.

Them who?

I am asking for anyone on either side of the issue to quote the legal definition for what a natural person is.

College sociologist should study this thread to try to understand why so many readers on BOTH sides of the issue are having such a hard time with this.

THANK YOU!

At this point, after seeing the resistance so far, it's clear no-one is really interested in discussing the relevance of that definition in an objective, straight forward manner.

We will see.
 
So a "natural person" is simply "a human being."

Still looking for common ground here, so can we all agree that, according to legal definitions a "natural person" is simply "a human being?"

yes or no?

Anybody?
 
You know, I lost interest in this thread when you started insisting that people provide you with a definition, and when they did, you said it wasn't good enough and didn't meet your requirements.

If you don't want a discussion, then why open a thread?

Opinions are not common ground.

Legal definitions ARE common ground.

Did you provide a LEGAL definition or a personal opinion?
 
I think that others have as well, because of your insistence on certain terms.

Anyone who is genuinely interested in an objective discussion of the common ground between the two major sides of the abortion issue would have to agree that the reality of biological facts, the existing legal definitions and the language of the Constitution itself is just a few of the things we all have in common.

Do you disagree?

No doubt they are burning those online legal dictionaries up. . Trying to find any kind of an alternative definition to rival the one you posted.

Is there not one who has the courage if their convictions to say "yes that is the legal definition for what a natural person is?" So we can discuss it further from that single starting point?

Man, I hate this phone
 
legally, a ''person'' is someone who is born human...I believe?
It's simply human being
I believe legally, a natural person is a breathing human being.
