The Nazis referred to the Jews as rats. In order to justify in their minds what they were doing, they had to see the Jews as less than human.
In the Rwanda genocide, the Hutus call the Tutsis cockroaches. Once again, when slaughtering fellow human beings, the human mind to justify such evil must view the victims as less than human.
Even slave owners, knowing the sin of their actions, to dismiss the evil of what they are doing, consider their slaves to be less than human.
Considering victims to be less than human is the mind's way of dulling the reality of the evil. If the victim is less than human, then it justifies the sinful action in the mind of the perpetrator.
I am figuring that is why the current example of mass genocide, abortion, led to a change in definition. Instead of unborn babies, they call them fetuses. Why? A fetus, according to the abortionists, is less than human. Like Hitler, it is their way to justify the genocide.

Doug,
I think you need to understand the difference between a zygote and a human being.
Okay, let's see, cells divide at conception, heart starts beating at 21 days, shortly after the fingers and toes are clearly recognizable. Also, studies have shown that unborn babies feel pain, fight against abortion, and are indeed "living." The difference between a zygote and a human being is only that one has been born, and the other has not yet. The definition you seek was concocted in order to make the unborn babies less human, so as to make it okay to murder them. Please. Use a little common sense, and have a little humanity.
