and that we're aren't any different than the rest of the animals.
​
Who's ever said that? Now you're just making things up.
​
On the other hand if you can put a pig's heart in a man, or cure a diabetic with sheeps' insulin, my guess is that we're not all that different, if the parts are that compatible.

Re: sorry for off-topic
I do remember a qualitative vs quantitative discussion somewhere suggesting that humans were no different form the other animals, on a qualitative level...or perhaps it was quantitative, i don't remember.
​
I don't see how anyone could seriously say that humans were "no different from the other animals" given that, even among the animals, it's impossible to say that any one animal is "no different" than the others.
​
They're all different. The animal kingdom boasts enormous diversity. That diversity is more than sufficient to encompass all that makes humanity unique.
