@hbdchick not in the way the original tweet suggested. No theory of personhood. phil 101 stuff -
@Rokewood ...mind you, the sample number was small (n=39), so as i said on my blog, further research is clearly required. (~_^) -
@hbdchick further philosophical thinking is required -
@Rokewood further *biological* thinking is required. (~_^) we are biological creatures, after all. -
@hbdchick we're all sorts of things -
@Rokewood not really. we're not fairies or pixie dust. we're pretty much biological creatures. flesh and blood, etc. -
@hbdchick exactly as St Thomas stated in Summa 4.16. Translation is actually 'we are animals' -
@Rokewood yup! he was right. (^_^) aquinas is actually one of my faves. smart guy!: http://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2011/06/26/st-augustine-and-st-thomas-aquinas/ … &http://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/thomas-aquinas-on-too-much-outbreeding/ … - 2 more replies
