I thought this brand of lunacy sounded familiar (he said, providing a link to a similar thread by the same OP).

Allow me to be the second lawyer to say that this line of argument has been roundly rejected by courts right across this country and holds no legal water whatsoever. And the last time I saw some nutbar raise the "person" argument in court, the judge leaned back in her chair, counted the tiles in the ceiling, and then asked the sheriffs to remove said nutbar from the courtroom.

And I in no way wish to imply that the OP is a loony or a nutbar. I only wish to say that, in my personal and professional experience, I have only seen this type of argument advanced by loonies and nutbars.

Edit: Curses! Make that the THIRD lawyer. God. This place is just crawling with lawyers.
