"This case has been going on for nearly ten years, because in the federal law, the definition of 'murder' is indeed 'illegally depriving a natural person of his life', and the law does not clearly stipulate that ghosts belong to 'natural persons', and ghosts do not have 'life', plus the forces that supported 'ghost cultivation and non-human cultivation' at that time were very huge, and even many ordinary citizens could not reverse the old concept, so after the lawsuit reached the final trial, the murder charges of these evil cultivators were still not established, and they were only sentenced for a few trivial misdemeanors."

"This result angered many people, including the little girl's younger brother."

"More than ten years have passed since the little girl died of illness, and the younger brother of the former little girl has grown up and become a federal soldier."

"He fought bravely in the battle against the 'beast tide invasion', but unfortunately he was sprayed with acid by a 'unicorn acid lizard', his left eye, left arm and left foot were severely corroded, and the left half of his body had to be replaced with a spiritual prosthetic body and retired as a 'disabled soldier'."

"As a 'disabled veteran', he has no material problems in his life, but after his sister died of illness, his soul was used, tortured and destroyed by others, and the other party was found not guilty after committing heinous deeds, such an injustice made this young disabled veteran angry!"

"This is a very smart young man, in the ten-year lawsuit, he has taught himself all the courses on federal law, mastered superb debating skills, and also met many like-minded friends in the stirring of the ideological trend of 'ghost cultivation', and has become a new force in society."

"After the final verdict, which acquitted him of murder, the young man made an astonishing decision."

"He sued the federal government directly!"

"Specifics, needless to say. Anyway, in the end, the 'ghost cultivators' faction and the 'ghost cultivators' faction launched a heated debate in the Supreme Court, and this was also a live broadcast of the trial open to the whole federation. Almost all citizens of the Federation are very concerned about this trial. ”

"At the final trial, this angry young man asked the same question I had just asked, but he asked it more intensely."

He directly used the cold mechanical left arm. poked his ** chest, the artificial crystal heart, and asked - am I human? ”

"With the development of technology and the improvement of various magic weapons and supernatural powers, more and more people are replacing damaged limbs with spiritual prosthetics."

"If a person's finger is dead and replaced with a metal fake finger, is he a human being?"

Jin Xinyue listened attentively, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Of course!" ”

Li Yao continued: "Then, like this young man. Fighting bravely, unfortunately wounded, and almost half of his body, including his heart, has been replaced by a machine powered by psionic energy, is he still human? ”

Jin Xinyue nodded: "It must be counted!" ”

"What if it's more than half?"

Li Yao said: "What if 51% of the body is a spiritual prosthetic? What if 99% of the body was a prosthetic body? What if it's 99.99%? ”

That's the question he just asked.

At that time, Jin Xinyue could easily answer him with federal law, count!

But now, after understanding the cause and effect, Jin Xinyue is in deep thought.

Li Yao said: "This angry young man. What I really want to ask is, people, what exactly is a human being? ”

"If you think, one has a prosthetic leg. A person whose body is 10% mechanical is considered a real 'human', while a person whose body is 99.99% transformed into a mechanical body is not considered a real 'human'. ”

"Well, between 10% and 99.99%, there must be some tipping point, a tipping point for people and non-people."

"Let's say this tipping point. It's 50%. ”

"Then, a disabled veteran like him is still a human being if 49.99% of his organs have been replaced with psionic-powered machinery."

"If you are unlucky, and the 'unicorn acid lizard' spits on him with an extra bundle of acid saliva, it is likely that 50.01% of the organs in his body will be replaced with spiritual prosthetics, then he will not be considered a human?"

"Obviously, this statement is ridiculous, such a 'tipping point' cannot exist, it can neither exist in 50% nor in 90%!"

"Even the brain cannot be the standard for judging people and non-people, because at that time, the Federation's chip repair brain technology was very developed, and many people who suffered severe brain damage would implant repair chips in their brains, and of course they were also people."

"Therefore, 99.99% of the organs around the body are replaced with spiritual prosthetic bodies, and they are still 'people'!"

"So, is there such a tipping point between 99.99 percent, to 100 percent?"

"Suppose a disabled veteran, the injury is too serious, only 0.01% of the brain cells can be retained, and all the rest of the body parts have been replaced with spiritual prosthetics, according to the theory just now, he is a human being, and can enjoy the rights and interests of a normal person."

"What if it's not 0.01% of brain cells, but 0.001%, 0.0001%?"

"This number can be reduced indefinitely until it is completely zero, where should the so-called 'tipping point' be divided? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that there are still 0.00000001% of brain cells alive, even if they are human, otherwise, even if they are ghosts? ”

"The so-called 'ghost cultivator' is not a person who has 100% of his organs damaged and replaced with a spiritual prosthetic body? So, what is the essential difference between them and people who have 99.99% of their organs replaced with spiritual prosthetic bodies? ”

"The angry young man, with a barrage of questions, left the entire courtroom speechless."

"Even all the federal citizens who sat in front of the light curtain to watch the live broadcast of this trial began to think deeply about the essence of the so-called 'human', what it is."

"This lawsuit has profoundly affected the formulation of a series of federal laws and policies."

"And in addition to denouncing the law, this young man also kept visiting the top of the Disabled Veterans Association, and finally won the support of the entire Disabled Veterans Association, and even the entire federal army!"

"The reason is very simple, even if the Great Wilderness is initially calmed down, the skirmishes between the Federation Army and the Demon Clan are still continuing, and there is even a possibility of facing a big war with the Blood Demon Realm in the future. Therefore, the Federation Army and the cultivators are the group of people with the highest mortality rate in the Federation. ”

"The soul of the cultivator is strong, needless to say, even the Federation Army is also strong. Young people with strong spirits, the probability of them retaining ghosts after death and transforming into ghost cultivators is higher than that of ordinary people. ”

"If a Union soldier fights bravely for the sake of the motherland. But unfortunately he died and turned into a ghost cultivator, but as a result, he lost all his rights, and others could ravage, torture, and enslave him at will, but he was not punished by the slightest bit of law, isn't that ridiculous? ”

"Therefore, the Federation Army and the major cultivation sects have successively fallen to the side of the young people, and the ideological trend of the entire society has gradually reversed its direction. There are more and more citizens who support 'ghost cultivation as people', and the 'ghost cultivation is not human' faction has gradually become a very small minority. ”

"After all, since ancient times, no one has died, and there is a certain chance of becoming a ghost after death, and everyone must think about the future."

"In the end, the federal government lost the lawsuit!"

"Two years later, the federal government introduced the Human-Ghost Equality Act, which for the first time legally defined ghosts with independent wills as 'natural persons'. He is also a citizen of the Federation, with all rights and obligations, protected by the Federation Army and cultivators! ”

"After more than a hundred years of fusion. Now, the living and the dead of the Federation have been completely integrated, and there will no longer be discrimination against ghost cultivators, and ghost cultivators will no longer be treated as aliens. ”

Jin Xinyue's heart fluctuated when she heard this, and suddenly thought of something: "What about those evil cultivators who killed the little girl?" This time. They should be convicted of murder, right? ”

"Nope."

A mysterious smile appeared on Li Yao's face, "The law is not retroactive, their murder charges have been ruled unfounded in the final trial, how can they punish the past charges after a new law is established?" ”

"In fact, they were convicted on several minor counts, and they were released from prison a year before the Equal Rights Act was introduced."

"Okay!"

Jin Xinyue frowned, for some reason, she had some regrets about this old case more than a hundred years ago.

Since becoming human, her emotions seem to be getting richer and richer.

However, she felt that the master was smiling very strangely, and her heart moved, and she said, "There is still a story in this?" ”

Li Yao smiled and said: "There is no story, it's just that these scumbags were killed by several of the young man's comrades-in-arms more than half a year after they were released from prison, that is, a month before the promulgation of the "Equal Rights Act for People and Ghosts"!" ”

Jin Xinyue was stunned for a moment and said: "I thought that since that young man chose to appeal, he wanted to use the law as a weapon, but I didn't expect him to still violate the law and lynch. ”

Li Yao said: "It's true to lynch, but it is not necessary to violate the law, the federal army is the defender of the country, and naturally it is also the defender of the law, how can it know the law and break the law?" ”

"Although these comrades-in-arms of the young man were prosecuted, they were all acquitted in the end, and their murder charges were also not established!"

Jin Xinyue didn't understand: "Why, is it because the court is under pressure from the federal army?" ”

Li Yao said: "Of course not! Because, technically speaking, before the official promulgation of the "Human-Ghost Equality Act", these comrades-in-arms of young people were ghosts, not 'people'. ”

Jin Xinyue: "Huh? ”

Li Yao said: "Do you understand? These comrades-in-arms of the young man all died heroically after fighting bravely on the battlefield, but they left behind the ghost cultivation of the gods! ”

"Before the Human-Ghost Affirmative Action Act was enacted, the Star Federation did not recognize the human rights of ghosts."

"Ghosts are not human beings, so killing a ghost is not a 'murder', and this is the basis for those evil cultivators to be found not guilty."

"The question is, people kill ghosts, not murder, but ghosts kill people?"

"After this revenge case, people looked back at the federal law, and they were a little surprised to find that the federation has been fighting against the demon clan since the founding of the country, and regards the demon clan as the most fundamental threat, so there are many legal provisions against the demon clan, but there is no one against 'ghost killing'!"

"This is also very understandable, even in the ancient world, it is impossible for the government to formulate any laws on how to judge 'ghost killing', right? At that time, it was the cultivators who shouldered the responsibility of 'slaying ghosts and eliminating demons', and when evil ghosts killed people, there were monks, Taoist priests, and cultivators to eradicate them. ”

"But now, it is a new era, a society ruled by law, what is emphasized is to govern the country according to the law, and the cultivation sect must also act according to the law, cultivate according to the law, and practice chivalry and righteousness according to the law!"

"Before the promulgation of the "Equal Rights for Humans and Ghosts Act", these sacrificed comrades-in-arms were not considered 'people' in the legal sense, so how could they be convicted of 'murder'?"
