the definition of individual humanity

The DNA is not the definition, I have millions of copies of DNA but I am not a million individuals. If I had a twin they would have the same DNA but be a different individual. An individual is defined by the mental state "I am". Siamese twins are considered two individuals even though they have one body. Those who have not attained self awareness have not yet become individual humans.
