Thinking about what makes something human is one of the more interesting topics in philosophy. Like a clone or genetically altered person would likely be considered a bit sub-human, but someone with a major genetic mutation is considered a full person, amirite?

Alright, after reading this over again, I think that clones and genetically altered people likely wouldn't be considered sub-human, but I feel like they would be considered inhuman. Anyway, I do find it to be one of the most interesting philosophical concepts, and the one that I most enjoy thinking about/talking about.

why wouldn't a human clone be considered human? they have human DNA, what else would they be

I just think that people would see it as a copy, and not a real person, which could affect how they are viewed.
