I think legal recognition of personhood is the right way to go.

I would agree, if it would work. But, the 14th amendment already defines personhood, according to the Supreme Court. If mere legislation was passed to define it otherwise, it's my theory the Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional.

With all due respect (considerable respect), I disagree. Where is “personhood” defined in the 14th Amendment other than in being a broader category than citizen? Give the definition.
