Are All People Persons, and If So, Why? An Outline of the SKIP Arguments and the Argumentation of Robert Spaemann

The question of whether all people (i.e., members of homo sapiens) are persons returns whenever some people are, in practice, excluded from the community of persons and when at the same time it is claimed that people have human dignity and basic human rights only as much as they are persons. This question is still topical, for example, for the moral evaluation of some assisted reproduction procedures and embryo­‑destructive research. The thesis that all people are persons is currently defended and justified by the SKIP-arguments. The article outlines the SKIP-arguments in propedeutic form and the argumentation of Robert Spaemann parallel to these arguments, who defends the thesis in an thoughtful way in his book Persons: The Difference between ’Someone‘ and ’Something‘. In the end, the reader will also learn about the meta-argument of tutiorism through which the advocates of this thesis usually strengthen the SKIP arguments.
