In Response To: Re: The Unhuman Complex Preview (Reach/CGI Machini (JIMBOTHY) : Actually yeah, I liken the word to "undead" - which describes a : deceased body acting alive, what once was alive (but died) has resumed : living. In this context, "unhuman" would describe the sentiment : of the Spartan program, taking normal people, placing them through : augmentation and changing them into super soldier killing machines. This : theme is echoed through the main character feeling less like a person and : more like a tool of the UNSC. Additionally he loses a limb and gains a : mechanical prosthesis, literally making him less human. : This differs from inhuman as inhuman describes a more malevolent type of : being (lacking compassion and mercy). Or something that never was or had : human characteristics. : I figured Unhuman would be a better amalgam of the issues pertaining to the : Spartan experiences than fitting it with current similar psychological : terms. OK. I'd argue that anything that doesn't look or act as a human would be defined as "inhuman" as well. I guess I'd prefer an actual word to a made up one. Inhuman is not necessarily malevolent, just not behaving as you'd expect a human to act. An extraterrestrial, even a benign one can be described as inhuman just fine.
