    What criteria is necessary for person?
    What does it mean to be a person?
    Who/what is included in your definition and who is excluded?
  2. At the point in which the narrator is speaking as a disembodied consciousness in the story “Where am I?” by Daniel Dennett (pg. 2-3),

who and where do you think Dennett is?
Does he exist?
Is he alive or dead?
The narrator provides 3 options: All Body, All Brain, and Point of View: Do you agree with one of these? A combination? Or None?
