Usually we will say a human is made up of his physical, his intellect and his soul. Miss one part of that and what? He's not a human?
I feel like throwing emotions in there as the fourth item. Or is it actually in one of the stated elements? There's a book I was reading back in Malaysia, The Decisive Moment or something. The author argued that a human's decision was based by his emotions. Emotions guide our daily judgement.
Al didn't have a body when he was tied to the armour. Does that make him a non-human? What was he? He still had his soul, his intellect and his emotions. Ed loved him and never saw him as anything else other than his brother.
What about those psychopaths who do harm without any feelings whatsoever. Those are the most dangerous of all crime; something done without feeling anything about it. Pushing people down the escalator and watching human dominoes fall with a sort of amusement. Withholding penicillin so data can be collected from a full blown tertiary syphilis.
Do you know how we come to know how we physiologically react to extreme of temperature?
Like when you pass a polygraph vanilla, neutral. You don't react to anything. Are you still human or is it right to label you as a monster?
Do you sympathies with them non-human? Or should we be scared? Lock them up? Stake out? What?
The worst of them are those who don't react, or give the wrong reaction?

On another note, I'd like to stay somewhere near the beach. Our home in Lundang is just 30 minutes away car-ride from Pantai Irama on a good day, our home really is the best.
I once considered to buy an apartment by the Pantai Balok beach but I believe a seaside property is not a good investment. We are heading towards rising sea level from the global warming. Read Nat Geo, people.
