if the living being can naturally procreate with me without technological or medical assistance, and generate an offspring that can also naturally procreate upon reaching maturity, then for sure that living being is human.

- Symmetry 11y agoThat tells us whether that being is of our species but doesn't tell us if "human" refers to our species or our genus.
- wavefunction 11y agoAs far as I know purebred standard British Bulldogs cannot reproduce without artificial insemination due to their body type making it physically impossible. Your definition would indicate that two British Bulldogs are not even part of the same species, and likely other dogs with mis-matches in physique.
