It seems to me that the most serious ontological error lies in the medieval discrete perception of the concept of “man” – “not man”. In the modern world, considering the discoveries of animal intelligence, the creation of artificial, as well as the apparently irreparable animal stupidity of the habitant, it is more appropriate to consider the degree of humanity as a gradation, the property of the phenotype manifested to one degree or another. by Napr. based on the IQ scale. In this case, it will be possible to avoid the absurd situation, when the plankton is considered a person with all rights (including political) only on the basis of a certain structure of the limbs and the ability to pronounce sounds that resemble connected speech.
