What exactly constitute a 'human'?

No, the real question is "what exactly constitutes a human".
That is why the thread topic is aptly named: What exactly constitute a 'human'?

I think you fail to understand my jest. I was merely pointing out that this discussion has lost the original point which was in fact rather moronic to begin with.

The real question here is: What exactly constitute a 'zombie'?

In the Holy Land of Zifnab few individuals have rights and Zombies, provided they remain nude, have more rights than most.

So it is with that fact in mind that I pose this question: Is an unthinking, yet still breathing, wage-slave cashier at a fast food restaurant a zombie? And if so, does he/she have the right to remove his/her uniform regardless of the company policy?

Food for thought.

Making the choice to Dress in one's uniform in the morning would constitute as a thought.
That person is Not a zombie based on consciouses.

That would be true if one were under the assumption that one thinks in the morning. The vast majority of Zifnabian citizens do not have conscious thought before 3:00pm. And since when does it require conscious thought to remove ones clothing? I challenge you to find an individual which is not naturally nude, zombie or otherwise.

Does fur count?

I did not say the removal of one's clothing was a thought, merely the decision to dress oneself in uniform.
Perhaps if the employee were to wake, eat and go to work in the nude; we could say that this individual had no consciousness.
With the assumption that this individual was only responding automatically to the needs of life, we could refer to him as being an "Automaton" and grant his the same rights and priviliges as your Zombies. Unfortunatly without the whole "body of a dead person given the semblance of life" part, we'd be at a loss as how to prevent this person from regaining his former humanity at any time.

That depends, is the fur removable?

All fur is removable, you just need a razor, and a lot of shaving cream (or wax, but I think that would hurt...)

All skin is removable, they won't live long or alike it though.

The WA considers all sentient beings "human". However, the diction defenition of human is any living being that can succesfully reproduce within the Homo Sepian species.

All infertile imposters posing as humans will be immediatly terminated. Thank you for the tip.

Ah, but from what I know, animals and fur-covered sentient beings can regrow hair, and they don't immediatly die if they get shaved (unless they live somewhere very, very, very cold).

As a proud member of The World Assembly, we intend on respecting and practicing all its laws and decision, especially concerning human rights, but what exactly consitute a 'human''? For example, does witches or heretics consitute as a humans despite selling their soul to the devil? Or Apostates who deflected from the One True Church of Our Lord and Saviour? If they are not considered humans, is it alright to burn them?

Mankind ( Humans ) are not our enemies, rather principalities in high places are.


Ephesians 6:12 (King James Version)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
