yes

a clone is stil its own person

mhmmmmm 😉 of course.... would he not be human too?

he/she LOL

If it were genetically modified to have no emotions I think it would change quite a bit, but it might be hard to motivate someone like that to work

i would even argue that an GMO clone born of asexual gender type (born steril w/ no reproductive cellular presence) would still be human w/ natural rights

I think there's a fair argument for it not being human, but that if they think and feel like a human does then they deserve all the same rights

so maybe even kind of humanoids would still have human rights most likey.... natural rights that is

sociopaths arent human to you?

and really in that case I'd still want to call them human when not discussing biology

emotion is a small thing for being human

Sociopaths have emotions

psychopath then, whichever is the heartless kind

They do too

not all of them

But really what is 'human' is more about definition than anything else. There's no clear line where one animal becomes another

i'd say genetics

chromosome count

state of sentience

But how different do the genetics have to be?

Humans have variability in all of those cases

its not how different

its how similar

That's the same thing worded differently

no its not

how so?

it has more to do with intellectual capacity for complex reasoning and rationality, ability to communicate linguistically and accept moral agency, etc

if things are similar, you check for overlapping similarities

If you look at the difference, you pick a different category

It is why a whale is a mammal, and not a fish

But then vegetables aren't human(or aren't deserving of rights if that's what you mean)

that AND some common sense.... like AIs and stuff.... purely cybernetics, etc.. clearly not human (common sense)

Yeah, but similarity is just a measurement of difference where you look for smaller amounts of difference

Humans are quite similar to many animals

yes, but it narrows it down considerably

you start from the opposite end basically

true

like i said, its more about a highly evolved state of sentience (spiritual, philosophical, etc)

but either way you put it there's no clear line in how similar you have to be to still be considered a human

less about genetics per se

i'd say to the point that any sample of you can be recognised as human

say you're given a cell, and they check its chromosome count/genome etc

I mean, a dead person, is still the corpse of a human

His state of life (thus lack of sentience) doesn't discount his humanity

but evolution is often a very slow change, and what's seen as anatomically modern human today may vary from those 300 years from now
