Just because we have difficulty defining something is not a reason to dismiss it 
as irrelevant or non-existent.

I'm sure you're self-aware, as I'm sure Siri and Watson are not.

It's like somewhere between a fertilized egg and your current form you became a 
person. Just because we are unable to definitively point to the moment when you 
became one, doesn't mean you didn't become one, nor does it mean that personhood 
is not a very useful and meaningful construct.
