People who have health problems can be on life support, that doesn't mean that they're not people.
A person has already become born and has a soul. They are an individual whether they are attached to a machine or not.
Childhood and adolescence are both development processes as well, yet children and adolescents are considered people.
A living human with a soul is a person, an individual regardless of age or gender.
In fact human brains take about 25 years to fully develop.
Some body parts never fully develop. If it is human, born, has a soul, it is an individual person.
A human that has been born alive, has a soul, bodily dies, it is no longer a person. It is not called a person.
You could also use the phrase that a pregnant women is "with child", implying that she has a child inside her. The phrases we use to describe a pregnant woman are a reaction to what we see, they don't define life or no life.
The phrase “with child”, is a man-made phrase to indicate, an expectation of a birth of a person.
I guess I'm kind of confused because one of the definitions for "person" is "a living human" (see below) and you said in your earlier post that a developing human is living. So if the baby is both living and human, by that definition they are a person.
A developing human in the womb has life, but is not a person.
Creation of a human, is physical and spiritual.
* a seed is planted.
* a seed becomes fertilized.
* the fertilized seed has cells that divide and multiply rapidly, making, cells that will produce a placenta, (a life line), and cells that will make, body parts, organs, tissue, systems, within the body.
* through the placenta, the developing (expectation of a human), is oxygen, nutrition and waste transferred.
* the body is (created) formed by the hand of God.
* Once formed it is prepared for delivery FROM the womb and separation FROM the placenta.
* the thing exits the womb, and is separated from the female when the cord is cut, and is called delliver-ED, born.
* the placenta exits the womb and is discarded as waste.
* the formed and delivered, born human, receives a (another life line), a soul, from God, with His Breath in it.
* once the expected human, IS delivered, born, separated from the womb, the placenta, received it’s soul with Gods Breath, it is NOW become “MADE” a Living Person.
* Whatever NAME that BODY is given, so also is the SOUL identified by that NAME.
* That Body, it’s Body Parts, it’s Soul, are all specific, individual, personally that individuals: to say, his, hers, me, my, mine, I, etc. pronouns that relate to THAT individual.
God “creates” humans FROM seeds, and FORMS their BODY.
God “makes” humans LIVING with His SOUL, His LIFE in a SOUL, He “BLOWS” into a FORMED Body.
Once the human IS BORN, it continues to grow, mature, communicate, learn, make choices.
Regarding Individual Persons…
God created AND made manKIND, what He called…….VERY GOOD
They are CREATED once…and God has Offered all individuals the opportunity to B] Choose [/B]for God to MAKE them ‘WHOLE’…
wholly, whole and holy…”IF” they so choose, and “DO” so…
According to Gods “order and way”.
Gen 2:
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.
Gen 1:
[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was
very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
John 5:
[6] When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be
made whole?
Glory to God,
