Inimhumani
Inimhumani is a term used in speculative fiction and critical discussions to describe beings, concepts, or states that challenge the boundaries of humanity. The term is often employed to denote entities that are not fully human in biology, cognition, or ethics, including aliens, sentient artificial intelligences, or transhuman beings who diverge markedly from prevailing human norms. Usage varies by author and discipline, ranging from descriptive taxonomy to normative judgment about rights and personhood.
