Abstract

A quick answer to the question posed by the title
is that they may be. Since the prevailing consensus - I
think it is fair to say - regards persons not to be members
of a natural kind, a longer answer is required. Sketching an
outline of how that answer might proceed is the purpose
of the present paper.
