What makes us human?
)
January 10th, 2010
There are so many ways to describe and define what makes a person. Scientific, philosophical, cultural, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and psychological. But what element or combination of elements do you think are prerequisites for human-ness? If there’s more to it than just biology where do you draw the line? Where does a genetically human organism stop being just technically human and become fully human? Where does it stop being fully human?
What does it imply about our constructed definition of humanity when other creatures demonstrate some or even all of the traits that identify human-ness?
