I think that we are all just as human as the next person. Someone might be born with some mental problem that makes them feel no emotion, or have an insatiable desire to consume other humans flesh. making them inhuman in the eyes of society. But if these rules of right and wrong that WE created did not exist no one would care and they would seem no less human then anyone else. Society creates Taboos that all humans have the capacity to break, most of us have no cause or are to embeded into the system to even think about breaking these rules. But a select number need (or feel as if they need) to break these rules, forced into the same situation you would break them also does that mean there less human than you? Or does it just mean that the "standard" of being human is far lower than most people think, or would even believe?
So no matter if your a retard a dwarf a phsyco a hobo a member of the PTA or you just won the lottery. Your just a human.

It's an interesting question. Yes, I think we are all human...but I remember an idea from Frank Herbert's "Dune" that suggested some humans are more human than animal, and some humans are more animal than human. There was a test administered to make the determination. Not saying I believe that, but circumstances remind me of the idea, now and then.

Tell me: is this a philosophy question? a religious question? or an anthropology question? or some other?
Because the answer depends.
In philosophy, it would be that, yes, we are all human, but some are "good" and some are "evil" (similar to religion).
Some humans are more "humane"; some actually try to live according to the tenets of their religion (few and far between); some try to live according to one philosophy or another (again, few and far between).
The problem is, by being human, we are busy trying to earn a living, trying to eat, rest, bathe, all that sort of thing and we are all tempted by something, so, for all of us, we are "less than human" at times.

Yes, we are all human...and yes, there is a separation....whether it is religious, political, social, genetic (man, woman, etc) or ideological, humans tend to separate themselves.
It makes no sense at all to me, but still I find that there are certain things where I draw a dividing line and refuse to budge. I know myself for a hypocrite...yet cannot change it.

I don't know what I am and have no way of finding out. Human the name we are told to use to describe us. The illusion of separation is already there when you say 'I am'. In reality, nothing in the universe is separate. It just looks that way to the senses.

i am human biologically and was born human
but as we grow we change some stay human others step back from convental society.
these may be called outcasts or diagnosed with a mental illness to explain their difference from the majority of humanity, but they are still human just not as past generations could call them.(socially evolved)
what I'm trying to say is that we as a race are evolving some are more evolved than others( eg telekinesis) but are still human. (no not like X-men more sutler than that)

We're all humans but there's separation.
Races, countries, religions, political ideas, money, social status, sex, age group, eating habits, employment status, time zones...
The list of "isolation circles" is huge and don't think that some of the are silly. They're all silly when you realize that we're killing each other over them.
