Hi PC.
How do you define the word "special". I really don't understand your usage of this word.
I think that it would be difficult to argue that each human being is not a unique individual. Most pertinent is the fact that individual brains are biologically different, not to be replicated anywhere else on Earth - whether as a product of genetics or the epigenetics that result from the exposure to different environmental conditions. Having said that, I don't know how special any one of us is since we are all unique. How can anyone be special if they are no more unique than anyone else. I tend to enjoy the thought that there is something intrinisically special about being unique.
