Anna,
I am not confused. You certainly ARE giving full-individual-rights status to the dead. Doing that, and disagreeing with the dictionary, I believe you have essentially relieved me of any burden to rebut. When an opponent insists on digging their own grave, you give them a shovel and stand back. -Mark _____ < Please, define a person. Anna> 1. So, a person can only be a living human according to you. A dead human is then not a person? If so, how do you divide his property to his heirs if he is not a person??? 2. A person of importance is a person. Whew, this is a pure tautology, "a butter is buttery and made of a butter" kind. 3.The composite of characteristics... Ok. In such case, the blue and green and purple at 50 F in a liquid form is a person. About " self". What is Self? A person? But, an ant and a wolf also have selves, yet you have stated at the top that it has to be a living human only. Do you see, that the terms used here are meaningless, where one term acts as a substitute for another, but in the end, no question has been answered? The only description which makes sense is just this: a person in the world of humans is only a human being, dead or alive. The fact that it is dead, cannot erase his history of being a living person. By the same reasoning, the fact that an alive human being is not born yet, should not negate his presence as a person. To avoid moral dilemnia in libertarian agenda, we should concentrate on the issue of justice, not laws.
