If you can't grasp what it is to be human, you won't have the ability to make an
informed choice. In part because of our inability to roam freely in our natural
environment, humans are considered no different from any other animal species. Due to
their care, animals are dehumanized since they can no longer roam freely in their
natural habitats. To our knowledge, this is the first time in human history that individuals
have had the freedom to make their judgments and then cope with the consequences of
those choices. Animals, on the other hand, are driven mainly by instinct and are
incapable of arguing over more complex judgments in the same way that people are.
Having someone else make decisions for you, rather than you are choosing them for
yourself, is known as the dehumanization of a person.
