That is true, but is that (fully) what it is to be human?
A man has a parasitic twin attached to his side. Is that a human? It has the human genetic code. But does it possess what it really means to be human?
A person with Down Syndrome does not technically have the "correct" human genetic code. Are they not human?
It's not quite black and white.
