Yes. 'Who', 'which', and 'that' can all be used to refer to people.
 
The above suggestions are OK, Ksenia, but inferior to the original sentence, in my opinion.

Why did you want to rephrase it?

Why did you think that?

In Russisn we often say "for whom", but I thought it is not the same case in English.
I am not sure of myself.
 
In English 'whom' is rarely used. That's what I learned from this forum.
