The difference between humans and other animals is a matter of degree. Primates, elephants, and others, show strong family and social group bonds, often risking their own lives to protect others in their group (not only their own young offspring) from attacks by predators including humans. Those who draw a bright line between humans and other animals are relying exclusively on religious belief, not science. While I respect their right to run their own lives according to their own beliefs, I do NOT respect their claim to a right to run other people lives according to those beliefs.

You asserted: "Those who draw a bright line between humans and other animals are relying exclusively on religious belief, not science. While I respect their right to run their own lives according to their own beliefs, I do NOT respect their claim to a right to run other people lives according to those beliefs." How utterly transparent, to ignore all other aspects of human society and culture, to focus upon one tightly unreasonable denegration the human species. You drive on public roads? Do you have a right to kill your innocent neighbor? Can you walk into any bank and take any amount of money you want?

You are well known to start with an assumption of what you define as right and argue every nit you can pick to verify the authenticity of your chosen right. How is it you do not see that since you so easily attack Christian perspective? You have deep issues, GS. You are not an fair debater at FR, just another liberal with an agenda.
