But, we don't give that right to anything and everything. What are the determining factors that give something the right to fair judgment? I can run words through my laptop's processor then smash it with a hammer. I can't smash a person with a hammer. What's the difference between the two?

Philosophically, nothing.  But practicality is in play for every individual who has a biological urge to not be smashed with a hammer.
