Um, no. No sentience MAY equal no personhood, but "human life," by
definition, is the quality of being a) alive, and b) of species homo
sapiens sapiens, i.e. "human."

Do you want me to prove that ALL words correspond to some
definition/s, or that only these particular ones do? I'll assume the
latter.

"human, n. 1. A member of the genus _Homo_ and especially of the
species _H. sapiens_. ... adj. 1. Of, relating to, or characteristic
of humans: _the course of human events; the human race_."

-- The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth
Edition, Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

"life, n. 1. The property or quality that distinguishes living
organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in
functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to
stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the
organism."

-- op.cit.
