Ok, lets say that its 500 years from now and upon death your mind can be uploaded into a computer and held until a new body can be grown for you from an old cell. Then your program, "jbw97361.exe" is put into the new body. Clearly before hand you are human. Clearly afterwards you are human. But during the in-between time?
I say it all lies in perception. If you believe yourself to be human, then you are human.
*tangental synapse firing one* What about serial killers? Don't many people say "its almost like they are not human"?
*tangental synapse firing two* What about animals that think they are human... or at least on the same plane as their owner/master?
