You can write a function that takes a text/varchar and builds a dynamic SQL query that then is executed...but I highly advise against it. Basically you open yourself to SQL injection attack vectors and passing in a where clause to a function is a very non-intuitive and cumbersome API. What you likely want are functions that do what you want and take a person id as an input. Let the user decide the best way to obtain that person id.
