Ah, but what is it that makes you human? Is it your specific abilities? Is it your physical strengths and weaknesses? Or is it something deeper, something quintessential? Is it a spiritual existence, perhaps?

How do you define human?

Or, perhaps more importantly, what is the aspect of being human that you hold in such high regard?

I define human as being a state of soulful, willful, emotional sentience, and these are things that the incubus...i...zation? process doesn't change. Becoming an incubus does not detract from the quintessential human. We do not lose our ability to think and reason; nor do we lose our ability to feel. The only changes of import are changes to our physical condition, which I do not consider a major factor in being 'human'.

In that sense (the emotional, spiritual, and willful sense), incubii remain human, fully and completely. And for my money, that sense is the only sense that matters.
