Ron Bailey Bailey: Is Personhood Just an Illusion?

Bailey ponders the growing neurobiological deconstruction of the myth of the stable, discrete, continuous self. He doesn’t like it.

We will most likely conclude that personhood is a continuum, not an all or nothing property. Just where to draw moral lines along that continuum will be a long hard fought debate, but as Sagoff has pointed out moral progress can be made. In the end...persons are as real as mountains, diseases, weeds, pets and daylight.
