Aaaah, but that's the big question, isn't it? What makes a human truly human? I mean, aside from the DNA that classifies us as "homo sapiens", of course.

It's just like how even now, nobody can answer what the genuine definition for "life" is. Sure, there's a general consensus for now, but many argue (rightfully so) that that will not last the more we discover. So, how do both a Zombie, Automaton, Ghost, & Living Armor all qualify under the same definition of "living"?
