The "Human Person"
A tightly coupled ecosystem of physiological building blocks
manifesting themselves in a tangible form-factor commonly recognized via
sensory perception as that of a structure we call a human.
There may also exist an ethereal collection of concepts such
as Mind and Spirit present as intangibles, defying any manner of purely scientific
proof of existence. It is the
questionable existence of this undefined net-of-speculation-based concepts that
it is argued to be inherent to the atomic level idea of a Human Person.
So what is a "Human Person?" A hybrid of scientifically irrefutable
tangibles diluted by a powerful commitment to the belief in that which may or
may not be believable: one part established truth, one part currently undefinable
concepts, that may or may not be truth?
So we can either say that a Human Person cannot as of yet be
wholly defined, or we can say that a Human Person is fully defined as one part
known, and one part unknown.
Powerful forces such as Faith, Hope, The Jedi Force, and
Fear provide the meta-physical glue required to define half of a human Person
as "undefinable". And just as
we are all reasonably certain that two wrong don't make a right, and 3 lefts
don't make a square, 50% defined + 50% undefined does not equally a wholly
definable entity.
It's just as easy to say that this formula is invalid as it
is to say that randomness actually is, but faiths, desires, and hopes, while
being indisputably powerful forces, have yet to achieve the ability to make the
intangible, undefinable, and unseen "Glue of Humanicity" manifest
into something that is scientifically irrefutable.
