What does it mean to be human?

I believe that every person is a human. We all have skin and organs and ears and arms and legs, etc. And although some people are missing a few pieces we are still the same. We all have a heart beat and a brain even though some work better than others.  We all eat, drink and sleep to survive. Humans are people who are created by a mother and father. The main factor, I believe, that makes us human is that we have consciousness. Humans are aware of their surroundings and their actions, they know right from wrong, they experience life, and they can communicate with one another.
