What makes a being the being that it is?
The physical appearance or the heart?
Nine out of ten will claim it's the heart.
"No matter what physical appearance you take on, your personality makes you up and therefore you are still you."
Let us look at things on a controversal vantage.
If a tiger starts chowing on grass and going moo, does that still make the tiger a tiger?
"Yes, because it's a tiger."
That's as good as saying that physical appearance makes the being the being that it is, much contradictory to your previous standing.
For the most part, humans perceive things the way they are from their biological structure (or whatever the scientific term for that is), that is, the genes, the DNA and stuff.
Whatever makes a dog go woof, whatever grants birds the ablility to fly.
That which makes a dog a dog and a bird a bird.
In this instance, is a tiger who moos still a tiger?
It's impossible to bring yourself to believe that it's a cow in earnest.
Apparently, this world holds much mysteries and phenomenons, some of which we encounter and are rendered stupefied by it, most of which we don't come across.
But let's take it that for some inexplicable, some... warped cause that the sole reason a tiger IS a tiger is because of it's physical appearance, then it can be said that a tiger is a tiger and yet not a tiger at the same time.
You warrant credit for a being's actions that is just to you and not for the entity that it is.
