-survival instinct; able to sense danger

2. Able to repair itself - heal

-detect when hurt - pain = give attention to repairs

3. Mobile - able to move around therefore not a plant.

4. Aware of its surroundings, especially at a distance: sight, hear, smell

5. Is aware of itself. Self conscious. Can reflect upon its own feelings and inner thoughts.

6. Have CURIOSITY, WONDERMENT, AWE. Really interested on what is going on around; and inside.

7. Energy efficient -little intake goes a long ways

8. Can store energy for some period of time and not spoil - fat

9. Have ingenuity - can think, plan, organize, act

10. Can create - i.e. have imagination, perceive what not yet is, then bring it into being.

11. Can cooperate with others to extend abilities. Yet can go it alone if necessary.

12. Can remember and learn from past experience. Can make trials, tests to increase the understanding.

13. A dynamic organism, not static, capable of adjusting to complicated situations as new information is received. An open ended organism always capable of growing, learning changing. Can choose to be open to new ideas, thoughts, things.

14. Have a memory bank that can operate automatically when needed, sub-conscious.

15. Can replace itself when worn out. A metabolism where every cell is replaced over a period of time (5 years? Also can reproduce itself in kind to continue its heritage.

This describes what we call a human being. And this is what we put down. This is what we feel is of little value.

SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS A HUMAN BEING IT HAS INTRINSIC VALUE, THE TOP OF THE KNOWN ANIMAL CHAIN.

YOU ARE REALLY VERY REMARKABLE BY ANY MEASUREMENT.
