Not a Roman Catholic but I am occasionally interested in what the Church has to say on ethical matters. What does the Church understand by "mystery of the person", and how does it relate to the assertion by the Church that, for example, gender (one aspect of the human subjective experience) can be understood purely in terms of biology?[0]

I just cannot reconcile the idea of personhood being valuable with reducing humans to mere biology.

Thankyou. I am not Catholic so was unfamiliar with the term. I'll read about it.
