Would you mind elaborating a bit?
I just mean that if we look at the genetic differences, say between human and chimpanzee and then between human and human, or any other species, the factor that contributes most to whatever special honors we give ourselves probably lies in the material responsible for the construction of the human brain. Take that out, and you just have what appears to be a person, but no person is there.
