You googled that, didn't you.Humans are just another species of animal.
What makes us unique and priceless is not our DNA or our bipedalism or anything but our brains.
Biologically, you are wrong again. Even individual rats are "unique" as per their individual DNA. As for being "priceless?" Dafuq is that all about?
As for human brains? I don't think you have thought that one completely through. Especially given that (thanks for our brains) "empathy" is one of the things that humans are capable of that most other animals are not capable of.
In fact, we "humans" are empathetic enough and objectively minded enough that we "humans" have already made the determination that while it is true that human beings in general do have much higher functioning brains than lesser animals do. . . We "humans" have also already legally declared that SOME human beings are still human beings / persons. . . even when they have severely damaged brains, or even no real functioning brains at all. (Google the anencephaly, sometime)
You don't have a working brain, you're just another piece of protoplasm with no more right to exist than any other piece of protoplasm. If you don't know you're alive, you're not (does not apply to sleep or comas). IMHO.
Yeah. . .
Well, Thankfully, Your humble opinion has already been defeated numerous times in our legal courts.
You may interpret the Constitution any way you choose but you must know you are in the minority in this country and the trend line is not in your favor.
We shall see how the SCOTUS decides to interpret the Constitution after RBG assumes room temperature.
