Beginning of Human Personhood - Other Markers

Other Markers

There are also other ideas of when personhood is achieved:

• at ensoulment
• at "formation" – an early concept of bodily development (see Preformationism).
• at the emergence of consciousness
• at the emergence of rationality (see Kant)

Human personhood may also be seen as a work-in-progress, with the beginning being a continuum rather than a strict point in time.
