"What" is a "Human Being"?

If we can define a human being, we would have taken the first step in 'realistically' 'solving' 'the problems' of this thing or being or whatever.

The Popular Concept is
Bodybuilding & Fitness Magazine Directory

But this is a 'limited' concept. This is BLIND to those humans whose 'timer' is less than 17 and more than 27 ...let alone the various 'other' shapes in existence WITHIN this selected range of 17 to 27!

The Next Most Popular Concept is

Great! That's it Man!
..but wait...I don't see any 'Human' in there!
DOES IT MATTER?

Just 'cut' the 'Foreground' of the 'Worst Looking Human' from the 1st Popular Concept ..
an other-race-3-yr-old, a fat-another-skin-14-yr-old, a frail old 70-yr-lady, a bald man with a squinty eye..
&
PASTE it ON this 'Background'
& ....he / she.....becomes....VISIBLE...NOTICED....even APPLAUDED!
THAT person becomes a HUMAN!
Why?
The Background!

Then the Surgeon comes with a Knife
and Cuts the 'human' into 'parts'
&
with the help of the Mathematician, DESCRIBES it as....
HUMAN = Body + Mind + Heart + Spirit

Then a group of Interpreters come and say...the formula is wrong; it is
HUMAN = Body + Mind
Note: These people have added an entity called 'Mind' which is NOT VISIBLE in the First Popular Concept!

Then a group of Interpreters come and say...the formula is wrong; it is
HUMAN = Body + Mind + Heart

Then a group of Interpreters come and say...the formula is CORRECT; it is
HUMAN = Body + Mind + Heart + Spirit

Then a group of Interpreters come and say...the formula is wrong; it is
HUMAN = Spirit

Then a group of Interpreters come and say...the formula is wrong; it is
HUMAN = Atoms

Oh! Man! Unless we know WHAT a Human is, HOW can we HELP IT?

You are. Can you define yourself?

Here is a very good description of human being: Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also, You can not cut the human into parts such as these with a knife. You can only cut their BODY into parts. If you want another formula of what a human being is, i suppose there two choices:

1) Human = Body = Atoms disposed in a certain manner

OR

2) Human = Body ( Atoms disposed in a certain manner ) + Consciousness ( which can be constituted of "Heart", and/or Mind, and/or Spirit ).
