Personhood is an abstract human/legal construct, not a "stage of development". Personhood is conferred to corporate entities and human beings alike.
Tell me...exactly when does the fetus cross this threshhold and become a person? At what point in gestation does the fetus suddenly have personhood aside from that conferred by someone else?
