By one definition, the rationale seems reasonably straight forward. We imagine some Platonic ideal human, or perhaps some range. It seems reasonable to say that moving toward that is becoming "more human", away is becoming "less human".
This doesn't directly imply that interventions that make someone "less human" should be avoided.
