DESCRIPTION:If on Jupiter\, hydrocarbon beings existed\, would we able to 
 speak with\nthem and they with us? Aristotle says that only humans can spe
 ak and the\nspeech capability is the only criterion of humanity. Speech is
  also\ndesignated by Aristotle "to indicate the advantageous and the harmf
 ul\,\nand therefore the right and the wrong … and other moral qualities.
 " He\nfinishes by saying that "it is partnership in these things that make
 s … a\npolis." Ultimately\, according to Aristotle\, a human being who i
 s not in a\npolis is not really a human being at all. Would this human bei
 ng then be\nno more human than a bronze or marble statue with a human bein
 g\nform?
