Like a friend of mine says, there's a difference between a human being and a person. Any Homo Sapiens can be defined as a human being...but not everyone is a person. And doesn't Homo Sapiens mean "thinking man"? This would imply that complex reasoning ability is the major difference between homo sapiens and other creatures, which means that because homo sapiens CAN reason in such a complex manner, that they should be held to a higher standard of conduct, and should be made to be responsible for that conduct.
