Your debate with Kipbond suggests that the beginning and end of personhood is difficult to define, and seems somewhat arbitrary.

It certainly is all that if you try to subscribe to some functional theory of personhood.

Like "capacity for speaking, reasoning, and loving"? That sounds functional to me. But, maybe you can clearly explain what you mean? And if you don't have some sort of "functionality" in the criteria for personhood, I'm not sure how you can ever declare someone dead. I'm still waiting on that from you.
