What makes one a person?

[Fandaniel lifts a shoulder and his smile widens. Speed dating is all but forgotten.]

Consciousness, humanity, individuality, moral reasoning, autonomy? I may possess a few of these characteristics. I am most certainly an individual, and one with consciousness and autonomy. Humanity, however, I lack. As well as moral reasoning. Or any reasoning for that matter. I've no reason nor creed behind what I do.

[One hand twirls in the air.]

If my former compatriots are to be believed, I am not even alive, ontologically speaking. I am but a broken piece of a life.

So....

No scent. No shadow.

[Here he leans forward again, rests his elbow against the table and catches his chin in one hand.]

Why all the interest?
