According to this story, some activists are trying to get a chimpanzee certain legal rights by having a court declare him a person.
So what makes someone a person anyway? We pro-lifers understand that an unborn child - at every stage of development - is a person. What about this creature who shares 99.4% of our DNA?
Holy Scripture differentiates between human beings and the other living creatures by teaching that Adam and Eve were formed in the image and likeness of God. This is said of no other being.
Can one be a person and then cease being a person? Terri Schiavo?
