Terry,
I see this huge jump in independence as relevant to your criteria
by being the cause. The reduction in dependence is both
qualitative and quantitative; even though babies are still
dependant on people, they are no longer 100% dependent on one
person.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Mark, the particular fundamentality of difference you describe is
not
relevant to what I'm suggesting as criteria of personhood; as
this
being is still TOTALLY dependend upon willing and able others for
life support (water, food and so on).
