The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue question

She dealt with feelings like love and fear, felt pain and needed to eat and sleep. Just like every other human being. She lacks interhuman interactions, but there are people living without that either and still no-one would call them non-human. Being remembered and leaving something back after you're gone can also never be something that makes someone human. In the end, almost everybody is forgotten eventually. So no, I think of Addie as human.

It got to a point were she didn't interact with people as human, more so like a dream or a blurry memory, she did however eat and drink and have feelings, but she couldn't die , and that I think is where this question makes me think a lot, it really depends in what you consider being human is. For me she absolutely is.

Technically, Addie is a human. Her body has the system of a human, and she still eats, drinks and breathes like a human. However, in a metaphorical view, she isn't. She doesn't process emotions like a human, she doesn't communicate like a human, and she doesn't exist like a human. She can't die, and therefore she can't live.

As Nerea said, it really depends on what you consider a human to be

Addie yearns to be human but is not. Without long lasting daily interactions and only memories of feelings, Addie has lost her connection to life.

I agree with Lisa Marie but also think it's what you think a human is. Addie was a human without her soul. I've seen this in other books or shows in this genre. She can still think, feel, remember, eat, drink, sleep...just like a human. It's our emotions and feelings that make us human and how we differ from a robot or machine! AI has no emotion...well not YET anyway.

Because she had no soul, she could not die but she still was alive among us. She was corporeal or solid, not like a ghost or spirit. And she participated in our world, even if she's not remembered. It's true that a human isn't defined by whether they are remembered or not.
