Many people have different views and oppions as to what "being human" means, but being human consists of a deeper love for one another, and bearing a soul.
One of the many reasons why humans are a unique species is because of our ability to choose our own eternity. Animals, which we are sometimes refered to as, do not go to heaven or hell. Therefore, they do not have control over their destiny. As humans we are able to have a personal relationship with God, which definitely gives our race a unique factor. In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, A human attempts to make another living being. He succeeds, but does not properly care for his creation in the way that any other human needs. This goes to prove that humans attempting to create something that can only be designed by God will only lead to a mistake.
Humans also are able to have a deeper love for one another. You might ask, "How can you tell animals don't love each other?", but animals only reproduce to keep their species alive. They don't reproduce because they "love each other," but because it is in their DNA to reproduce to keep their own species going. Humans, on the other hand, usually only reproduce if they honestly and truely care for one another. And I'm going to leave that there for the imagination before I get to into detail...In addition, humans are able to read feelings. We can tell how someone feels or what they are going through by simply looking at the expression written on their face.
Counter:
Animals are able to read feelings as well humans. For example, a dog can tell how their owner feels, and is able to respond to them by cuddling or sort of "sympathizing" with them. Also, how can you know for sure that animals don't go to heaven or hell? There is no way of knowing for sure until that time comes, and no one has ever come back to life to tell about it.
