Open Question...

Is there a delicate way to say "we don't agree on who is really a person?"

Kind of a big deal, given that a sizable portion of the current US population doesn't think that humans before a set age are people, and many additionally hold that a view that all human organisms are people-- with the life-rights inherent to that-- is evidence of holding an entire sex as lower level persons.

its difficult to argue with that reasoning. the main reason being that if they change their mind, they have to lower their own status.
its difficult to do.

Even without that aspect, it's a matter of world view.

There's no easy way to say "I was wrong about WHAT A PERSON IS."
