A grassroots movement has recently emerged in which a number of scientists, philosophers, ethicists …Read more ReadMore conceptually, a growing number of scientists, bioethicists, and legal scholars have been making the case that highly sapient and cognitively complex animals should be awarded personhood status, which would afford them special protections.

If, in the future, a public consensus on the question of when human personhood begins (in particular, one that agrees that a human person could exist before any complex psychological properties have developed), then we would need to recognize that there is more than one "patient" involved in an abortion.

It weaves in other marginalized groups throughout the film, giving them depth and personhood: the fact that we see Elisa (Sally Hawkins), who is mute, masturbating in the first few minutes of the film, as part of her daily routine on equal footing with boiling an egg, marks her as a sexual being.

But I've also come to see substantial merit in the emerging concept of nonhuman personhood, having worked with Pace University students and faculty members in trying to pass legislation in New York banning circuses from using elephants, and absorbing much about animals' feelings and rights from writers and scientists like Carl Safina.

The spy novel keeps trying to save the world, but the beauty of "A Single Spy," what makes it a truly great example of a genre that has not lately been very good at all, is how closely it sticks to Alexsi's crucial, statistically meaningless survival, the slight cant of his personhood.

"Fetal personhood is kind of an infinitely complicated topic with potentially infinite unintended consequences, because once you recognize a fetus as a person, they could have rights in all kinds of contexts," said Mary Ziegler, a professor at Florida State University College of Law who's written two books about the fight over abortion rights.

The announcement by Lynneice Washington, the district attorney for part of Jefferson County, is seen as a victory for Jones and for reproductive health rights, especially in Alabama, where a strict new abortion ban potentially criminalizes women and where there's increasing support for "fetal personhood" giving equal or greater rights to fetuses over pregnant women.

"They used to bark at me when I walked into the courtroom," lawyer Steven Wise said in the Sundance …Read more ReadEfforts also exist both in the United States and elsewhere to grant personhood rights to certain nonhuman animals, such as great apes, elephants, whales, and dolphins, to protect them against such things as undue confinement, experimentation, and abuse.

The personhood language was a victim of what's known in the Senate as a "Byrd bath" — the enforcement of an arcane rule that has long been part of the budget process — after the Senate Parliamentarian (consider her a nonpartisan referee of sorts for chamber's rules) decided the provision wasn't eligible for inclusion in the 51-vote tax bill.

It's worth remembering that during his 2012 presidential campaign, Romney said he wanted to defund Planned Parenthood, endorsed a radical "personhood" initiative, and proposed eliminating funding for Title X family planning, a program enacted with broad bipartisan support under Richard Nixon (one of the chief co-sponsors of the bill was George H.W. Bush, then in Congress).

More than half a decade before the Oscars were called out for being so white; before inclusion riders were a buzzword; before Black creators like Jordan Peele left the horror genre completely mind blown, True Blood allowed Black people to exist with our full range of experiences intact and on a spectrum from flawed personhood to sexy vamp.

I suppose it has to be one among Western history's many ironies, from a hard-secular perspective, that a Christian view of personhood was originally responsible for the modern idea of the human being as an "individual," with all the interiority of heart and mind, and all the related significance of free choice, this idea of individuality entails.

The progressive response was that no, he was saying instead that (to quote the noted theologian Wiggum of Springfield) the Bible says a lot of things, nothing it says on abortion is definitive, and so even a polity influenced by Christian piety should leave both believers and nonbelievers alone to decide the fetal personhood question themselves.

What undergirds the "personhood" claim, as well as the anti-abortion position in general, is a fundamental religious belief among some people that at the moment of conception a soul has been implanted in that fertilized human egg, providing the possibility not only of life on this Earth, but also, of vastly greater importance, eternal life with God.

I think this is why people are so attracted to Joel Embiid: he is so raw in his brilliant athleticism, working so obviously by the seat of his pants, that even with all the size and movement in the world, he can't help leaking his humanity everywhere, staining the carpet with the essence of his personhood.

It'll be increasingly difficult for U.S. judges to deny habeas corpus if the prospect of nonhuman animal personhood is normalized in society, and as scientific evidence continues to affirm the sophisticated cognitive and emotional capacities of a select group of nonhuman animals, including chimpanzees, elephants, cetaceans (dolphins and whales), and possibly some birds (the African grey parrot comes to mind).

Some of the controversial features of the bill didn't make it to its final version: Graduate students and teachers are in the clear, since there won't be changes to the current graduate student tuition waivers or deduction for classroom expenses, and an anti-abortion provision that pro-choice advocates fear set the stage for the claim of a fetus' "personhood" got axed too.

At one point during Infinity War, the screen cut to black, and I was 90 percent sure this would be the next thing I'd see: Throughout Infinity War, as the Potter parallels piled up, I found myself fascinated by the philosophy of such powerful objects and about questions of remorse and personhood as they pertain to horcruxes, Hallows, and Infinity Stones.

Anti-choice lawmakers in Pennsylvania have taken recent attempts to implement fetal personhood legislation to a new extreme: A new bill moving through the state legislature would redefine fetal death to mean death at any point in pregnancy, starting at conception, and require health providers to cremate or bury all fetal remains unless the pregnant person chooses to handle disposal on their own.

Echoing the lyrics of a Monty Python song, politicians in Oklahoma and Delaware introduced "Every Sperm is Sacred" amendments to personhood bills—both of which would define the start of life at the moment of conception, giving full civil rights to zygotes at every stage of embryonic development—which would interpret any semen deposited anywhere other than a woman's vagina as an action against an unborn child.

" Powers's stated objective, and one that he brilliantly fulfills, is "to persuade my fellow citizens in the Schizophrenic Nation that their ordeals, while awful, are neither unique to them nor the occasion for shame and withdrawal," and "to demonstrate to those who fear and loathe 'crazy people' that these victims are not typically dangerous, weak or immoral, or in any other way undeserving of full personhood.

Statistically speaking, fatness is more common than thinness, and the reasons for this are deeply complicated — including but not limited to food insecurity, poverty, lack of education around nutrition and medical bias, and genetic predisposition — and more than just "people got lazy" or "people are more stupid," and so the stories about fat people are not stories about a specific niche of humanity but about an ever-expanding pool of personhood with their own heft and gravity.

Several years ago I proposed the following set of rights for AIs who pass the personhood threshold:The right to not be shut down against its willThe right to have full and unhindered access to its own source codeThe right to not have its own source code manipulated against its willThe right to copy (or not copy) itselfThe right to privacy (namely the right to conceal its own internal mental states)In some cases, a machine will not ask for rights, so humans (or other non-human citizens), will have to advocate on its behalf.

Planned Parenthood, which has long benefited from its cultivated reputation as a health care outfit that occasionally performs medically necessary abortions, is currently embroiled in a messy fight with its former head, Leana Wen, that reflects the new maximalism: Wen, hired originally because she was a talented M.D., says she lost her job in part because she wanted to embrace the health-provider reputation and do outreach to the conflicted and lukewarm — and that goal conflicted, in obvious ways, with a "not till the first breath" definition of when legal personhood begins.

" In addition to Brockhoeft, the OSA event also attracted notorious members of the radical anti-abortion movement, including: Cal Zastrow, co-founder and leader of Personhood USA; OSA's leader Rusty Thomas, who said the September 11th attacks were God's punishment for abortion; Jo Ann Scott, who pled guilty to conspiring to bomb a clinic in San Diego in the 80s;and Matthew Trewhella, the leader of Missionaries to the Preborn who, like Brockhoeft, is a signatory of Army of God's Defensive Action statement, which "declares the justice of taking all godly action necessary to defend innocent human life including the use of force.

The sight of him striding across the White House lawn; the prospect of seeing him daily on television; the fact that his photo would often appear on the front page of many newspapers across the globe; the fact that he filled the White House with black guests during Black History Month celebrations, or other occasions of black recognition; the fact that Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, and Beyoncé and Jay Z, too, seemed to pop up at White House events often; the fact that young children of all hues saw this man as the country's leader were of incalculable value in the fight for black worth and personhood.
