So you are talking about potential personhood here or currently active personhood?
I guess it’s more about potential, because otherwise we wouldn’t have the debate.
Sperm and egg cells could develop into a full human. There’s potential personhood here. If you follow that train of thought, it would be a requirement for every woman to get pregnant constantly and every man to never “waste” sperm or something crazy like that. Doesn’t make sense.

Life begins at conception. Then it’s active personhood
So your definition of “personhood” does not depend on the existence of a person?
What is your definition then? I’m sensing a circular definition incoming.
embryos exist?
when they are conceived and given their rational soul.
