What does it mean to be human?

To be human means to have the ability to feel and act on emotions that other animals can not. I believe that humans are the only creatures that are able to feel sympathy, guilt, and empathy. To be human basically means to have morals. Animals simply take what they need without considering the consequences. Humans, however, consider the consequences of their actions; they sometimes do without because they know that getting what they want will hurt others or themselves. Basically, being human is having the ability to reason.
