And then the other part of the soul, the other part of the spirit, is that which controls motor functions.
Oh.
That's the part that's hijacked by the Bokor in Haitian zombification.
But only that one part.
We're scared of becoming a Haitian zombie because it would be a matter of having your consciousness trapped in a body it couldn't control.
But a Haitian zombie is still a human.
Victims of a bokor still deserve moral consideration.
They should be rescued.
They have needs and interests we should respond to.
The George Romero zombie from Night of the Living Dead doesn't have these traits.
The only thing we're supposed to do is kill them.
This makes the Hollywood zombie not all that distinguishable from an animal that preys on human flesh.
It's the reanimated body with rotting skin part that is particularly disgusting.
It comes really close to losing all humanity, all of our sympathy.
But even death and dumbness is not enough to be fully inhuman.
Without altering their disgusting appearance, Romero and his copycats start developing more and more sympathetic zombies over the course of their films.
In fact, even in the first film, zombies have moments of intelligence.
Like they start using tools.
There's a zombie later on that you kind of sympathize with it that has an individuality.
They even call it a name.
