Different perspective: Even if you miss a limb your body contains the full 100% of the skeleton you can find in a person missing that limb.
There still complete human beings even if their body has a unique challenge.
I appreciate what you're saying here - people come in all shapes and sizes, with different abilities, limb counts, etc. Every one is a human being deserving respect and dignity.
But OP didn't say "a complete human being" - it said "a complete human skeleton."
If an individual is missing a limb, by birth or by accident, they don't have a complete skeleton. It's a plain fact. Doesn't mean they are any less human.
I guess you could say they're missing body parts, but not humanity parts (necessarily)
Yeah kind of - I think "a complete body" is neither necessary or sufficient to make one a "human being."
For example, there are plenty of murderers, rapists, and pedos with "complete bodies," that have entirely lost their humanity in commission of their crimes against humanity. (However, I will always argue that this can never be a justification to exact cruelty upon them, as we necessarily lose our humanity in that process).
And there are so many people with "incomplete" bodies who are amazingly beautiful and strong human beings.
