Apparently, there are ten Mexican states that define a "person" something like the way Guanajuato decided to do last week: as "all human beings from conception to natural death." Left-leaning judges tend to be warm to the idea of looking to international precedent for human rights issues. It would be interesting to see if anything is made of the Mexican trend were the issue to come up.
