There is no rational, ontological or scientific basis for re-defining

You jumped to quickly to square number two. Forget "re-defining." Start with "defining." You are smuggling an assumption that YOU own the original definition. Prove it.

I'll bite. You profess to have the answer. When exactly does a human become a human (and ps...as others have pointed out, please define "human" in both instances here). Thanks...:)

OK, back on square one you used the word "human" twice in the phrase, "...when a human becomes a human...", which grammatically speaking, produces the incoherent and unintelligible corollary that there can be a human being who is not a human being. It is self-contradictory and self-refuting.

Cordially,
