OOC: Person is a perfectly acceptable term, and I think the sapient/sentient nonsense is likely to make it more complex. As I asked - without receiving an answer - about the definition, as it stands it looks an awful lot like it's banning herbicides. Use 'person' would be my advice.
OOC: *points to his sig*
On a side note, yes, I do agree that person is an acceptable legal term, but, how does it ban herbicides? *looks at the most recent draft* Oh, right, conscious was taken out. Though, if what I was drawing from the previous incarnation of the draft was correct, what was your concern then? Or are my inexperienced eyes missing a lot of things?
