If someone has practically nothing, are they still a person? Would that change any rights? Should it?
I think making ownership of something as part of what a person is, or granting personhood in respects to law (or perceptions), could be used to disenfranchise a lot of people, if not add to prejudice or a certain sense of entitlement over others who have less property (or none).
Sorry if I have pulled this off of T's OP, and for the most part, I agreed with practically everything you said.
