Personhood is a biased term: it only ever comes up when someone is trying to deny it.
No one questions whether the person walking next to them on the street is a person: it's only used when discussing whether fetuses ... or the brain dead, or criminals, or members of a racial/ethnic/national group you don't like ... "deserve" to be considered human.
As a result, there's no one "right" meaning, because that meaning is inherently tied to people's opinions (on the issues where the term gets used).
