Personhood: current legal views.

Authors: Edward J, Larson;

Personhood: current legal views.

Abstract

Medical developments have given people unprecedented control over the beginning and end of life but have also altered traditional and legal concepts of personhood. Recent court decisions on prefetal life, fetuses, the infirm, and the dying reflect a struggle with the new ambiguity surrounding the definition of "person."
