So, I was browsing YouTube and saw a video. That video was talking about how realistic Ghost in the Shell was. But, that video made me think of a different question. It's a very philosophical question, but a question that I have. I'm thinking of trying to incorporate this into a story, and while I have my own thoughts on this question I wanted to know what other people think the answer is.
What is human? What does it mean to be human?
Seriously, that's the question.
If I'm hit by radiation and my body mutates into some unrecognizable form, but my brain is still the same, am I human?
If I lost my left arm and replace it with a cybernetic one, am I still human? What about my leg, am I still human than? What about my whole body, if it's just my brain that's the same then am I still human?
What is a human? What does it mean to be human? Where is the line between human and not-human?
Just let me know what you think the answer is.
