What is the legal definition of a human being? What makes humans legally different from animals?
I'm curious about the legal definition of a human being. What exactly makes someone legally considered a human and not an animal?
The legal definition of a human being varies depending on jurisdiction, but generally speaking humans are defined as a biological species within the family Hominidae. Legally, humans are considered different from animals because they are believed to possess unique qualities such as self-awareness, consciousness and the capacity for reason.
