Why does it matter whether a thing "makes us human" or not? What are the salient consequences to the proffered answers to the "debates" over whether any given modifications or other interventions make us human, not human, "inhuman", more humane, or "less" human?
Try to think about what answers to this question would be given by those you disagree with in regards to whether - or how much - certain "debated" changes would change an entitie's status as a human.
Why does it matter who we call human?
