The point to be debated is whether a person is something separate from the body and using the body , if so it follows that every animal is also using his body though being separate from it. Some major religions though making a provision for the human animal to possess a soul deny that privilige to the lessor animals which is against logic as science would have it. Either all living beings have souls or none have it.
